Intro to virus Flashcards
all human viruses with helical capsid have
an envelope
Viral envelope
surrounds nucelocapsid, 2 lipid layers with proteins and made from host and virus material. associated with persisitent infections. easy to eliminate with alcohol and detergents.
Hemagglutinin
surface glycoprotein attaches to sialic acid residues of host cell
Neuraminidase
surface spike, aids in release of virus from host cell.
matrix proteins
links envelope and capsid for stabilization, can drive final assembly process and imporant budding location.
viral surface proteins
exposed, made of glycoproteins include VAPS
viral genoms
both linear and circular
DNA envelope viruses
pox, herpes, hepadna
DNA Naked viruses
Polyoma, Papilloma, Adeno, (SS) Parvo
RNA Positive
Naked- Picorna calici, Envelope- Toga, Flavi, Corona
RNA negative
Enveloped Rhabdo, Filo orthomyxo, paramyxo, bunya, arena
Double stranded RNA
Double capsid, Reo
RNA positive via DNA
enveloped Retro.
Biochemical detection for viruses
Enzymatic assays, PCR, NA hybridization
Serological detection for viruses
IF, IP, IB, ELiSA, RIA
Defective Virus
complete virus particle but unable to replicate without helper virus, lacks full complement of genes for complete life cycle
Pseudovirions
contain non-viral DNA, infections but Don’t replicate.
Viriods
subviral, small circular ssRNA genomes, Hep D is the only one for humans and it is enclosed by Hep B.
Prions
proteinaceous and infections, like scrapie,
Virophage
goes after giant virus grows only in a strain of the mimivirus within the infected amoeba sputnik is a circular double stranded DNA
Latent phase
progeny virus accumulates intracellulary, ends when free virus is released.
penetration enveloped vs. non enveleopted
enveloped viruses- endocytosis, fusion with cellular vacuoles or fusion of two membranes
non enveloped, absorptive endocytosis
Protein and nucleic acid synthesis phase
start of eclipse phase, susceptibility is markers and getting into the cell, permissiveness is whether or not it can replicate.
Matrix proteins arrange
alongside the modified cell membrane
