Lecture 7 Flashcards
(55 cards)
parvovirus DNA
ssDNA
+ or - hammerhead ends
Hammerhead portion is self-complimentary, double-stranded
parvovirus
small parvus- Latin for small T=1 1-3 capsid proteins Some display oncotropism- viruses that replicated more efficiently in tumor cells
parvovirus replication
cellular DNA polymerases make dsDNA from ssDNA when cell is in S phase
Assembly in the nucleus
Ruptures nuclear and plasma membranes at release
autonomous virus
does not require a helper virus
dependovirus
requires a helper virus such as AAV
defective parvovirus
requires helper virus: adeno or herpes vir
AAV integrates in genome if helper virus is not present
replication occurs if daughter cell infected with helper virus
AAV (virus)
adeno-associated virus
parvovirus B19 diseases
Fifth disease- 1 in 5 childhood exanthemas (rashes)
slapped face rash
parvovirus path
infects erythroid precursor cells
enters nasopharyngeal to bone marrow
parvovirus incubation
6 days
parvovirus immune response
antibody with appearance of rash and aches
parvovirus Human B19 infectious stage
infects RBC’s and precursor cells in bone marrow
RBC production stops with death of precursor cells
viremia with flu-like symptoms
human infecting parvoviruses
dependovirus- adeno-associated virus (AAV)
erythrovirus- B19 virus
parvovirus transmission
respiratory droplets
children and parents
anemic patients
65% of adults have Abs to B19
Parvovirus vaccine
none
Adenovirus
first isolated from adenoids and tonsils
binds CAR- Coxsackie adenovirus receptor
some bind integrin proteins as 2^o R
adenovirus structure
T=25
11 proteins in virion
20 faces and 12 vertices with spikes
adenovirus genome
dsDNA
terminal proteins
terminal inverted and repeats
adenovirus replicative cycle
attach to CAR or Integrin receptors
DNA enters nucleus via terminal protein
Control is at level of transcription
Uses Cellular RNA Pol II
adenovirus DNA replication
both strands are transcribed
overlapping genes
Cellular RNA Pol II transcrives most of mRNA
Adenovirus DNA synthesis
preterminal protein primes
synthesis by viral DNA polymerase
single-stranded is circularized
adenovirus incubation
9 days
adenovirus infects
mucoepithelial cell in respiratory, GI, and conjunctiva
adenovirus diseases
pinkeye- conjunctivitis
GI infections
pneumonia
upper respiratory pharyngitis
