Q

difference between influenza A and B?

A

A= H1N1; causes drifting; use amanthadine to target M2 protein

B= does NOT cause a shift; use TAMIFLU; targets the NA (nerve an…) on 6th segment

Q

why is piconarvirus genome cruciform structure importtant?

A

allows the genome it to function as mRNA right away once it enters cytoplasm of cell! Needs no processing

Q

big problem with interferons?

A

they are natural antiviruses; so we need to make sure they are NOT broken down quickly (pegalated?)

43
Q

what type of virus is rhinovirus?

Q

describe the parts to HPV?

o E7 targets retinoblastoma protein (Rb) – major protein for cell cycle arrest at G1 of cell cycle

46
Q

Adenoviruses target?

A

E1a and E1b target p53 and Rb

47
Q

Hepatitis B virus causes what cancer?

A
