16
Q

clinical consequences for envelope viruses…

A
  • must stay wet
  • cannot survive GI
  • spreads in larget droplets, secretion, organ, blood
  • does not need to kill the cell to spread
17
Q

envelope viruses are released from the cell by…

A

budding or lysis

18
Q

what do ssDNA viruses need to replicate

A

cellular DNA repair enzymes –> dsDNA and then Cellular RNA pol

19
Q

what do dsDNA viruses need to replicate

A

cellular RNA pol

20
Q

what do -ssRNA viruses need to replicate

A

viral RdRp

21
Q

what do dsRNA viruses need to replicate

A

viral RdRp

22
Q

what do +ssRNA viruses need to replicate?

A

NOTHING

23
Q

what do retrovirus (a +ssRNA) need to replicate?

A

viral reverse transcriptase –> dsRNA then cellular RNA pol

24
Q

what is the biggest challenge to viral DNA genome replication

A

cellular DNA replication machinery is not avialable at all times

  1. make machinery available by stimulating growth (papovirus)
  2. encode viral prtns to synthesize genome (poxvirus)
25
Q

what is the biggest challenge to viral RNA genome replication?

A

no cellular RNAdependentRNApolymerase RdRp

  1. +ssRNA–> encode a RdRp in your genome
  2. -ssRNA –> encode a RdRp in your genome AND carry the enzyme in your virion
26
Q

Pathway to viral assembly and egress

A
  1. individual viral prtn form into capsid subunits
  2. subunits combine to form complete capsid
  3. viral genome and other essential virion components are selctively packaged into capsids
    (4) envelope is acquired
  4. virus exit cell
    (6) virions mature
27
Q

chronic v. latent viral infections

A

chronic: incomplete rsponse reduces but doesnt stop viral replication
latent: virus replication stopped but virus is still ‘alive’ and can come back

28
Q

one plaque = ___ virus

A

1 virus

29
Q

antibodies

A

ELISA

Western blot

30
Q

genomes

A

DNA- PCR

RNA- RT PCR

31

A

d anti-viral antibodies
+ sensitive and quick
- time must be allowed for initiation of immune response must differentiate past and present infections
