Week 2 - Viral Replication Flashcards
(261 cards)
The growth curve is used to study the _____ ______.
virus replication
A single or one cycle of virus growth is observed, called as _____ ______ _____ experiment.
one step growth
The one step growth curve is defined as the time of a _______ process of infection by a given virus
in a _______ ____ cell until the release of _____ ______ ______.
complete, permissive, host, new viral progeny
Not all viruses can infect all cells. Based on variability of receptors, transcription/translation factors, etc.
Members of each virus _____/_____ may have unique method of replication
order, family
Starts at attachment of virus to host cell
Eclipse phase
Assembly
Release
How do you study the viral growth curve?
- Virus is an obligate parasite. Infects cell culture
- Incubate viral cells and provide required environment of CO2 and 37 degrees celsius + media
- Examine viruses under microscope daily
- Collect cell culture supernatant via suction at various intervals
- Titrate virus using block assay. Based on this assay, we can see magnitude of viral replication.
The virus growth curve occur in two main phases: _______ and _______.
eclipse, logarithmic
Eclipse phase: the time from the _____ of the virus
into the ____ cell until the assembly of ____ _____
viruses (time?)
entry, host, new progeny, 1- 20 hrs
Exponential growth phase: number of _______ viruses increase _______ until reaching a _____ thus no more virus particles will be _______?
produced, exponentially, plateau, produced.
Eclipse phase is the time from viral entry into host cell until assembly of new progeny virus. This can take anywhere from 1-20 hours and depends on virus type. Virus cna not be detected; no pathoolgoy of virus yet in host tissue. After completion of first cycle of virus, virus numbers increase exponentially –> plateaus. This plateau is where the number of viruses becomes fixed, so no more viruses will be produced. Viral infected cells will then be ruptured/lysed.

Bacterial growth curve
After the stationary phase, the bacteria begin to die and the number starts to decrease dramatically. In viral replication, curve looks different.
Viral one step growth curve
Viruses are ______ _______ parasites. They require _______ cells for multiplication
obligate intracellular, living (source could be cell culture, embryonated chicken eggs, lab innucleatio)n.
Viruses hijack the cellular _______ and direct them for the synthesis of ______ proteins instead of _____ proteins resulting in cell ______.
machineries, viral, cellular, damage
Despite the high variability among viruses, they replicate in standard _______ series of stages/steps.
consecutive
What are the steps of viral replication?
1- Attachment/adsorption
2- Penetration
3-Uncoating
4- Synthesis of viral proteins= translation
5- Synthesis of viral nucleic acids
6- Assembly and maturation of Virions
7- Release of the progeny virus
Viral Replication cycle
When viral NA forms, and each copy of viral genome assembles with sets of viral proteins, it is released from cell surface (rupture, lyse, bodying?).
Viral replication cycle
Viruses attach to the target cell via
- ______ on the viral surface called virus _______ proteins
- ________ on the _____ membrane of the _____ cell
- Members of same virus family may use _______ _______.
Ligands, attachment, Receptors, plasma, target, different receptors
The influenza virus uses what…
Virus ligand?
Cell receptors?
Virus ligand = hemagglutinins (RBC+clumping) Virus has spike that causes hemagllutination of RBCs.
Cell receptors = sialic acid (Virus attaches to sialic acid)
The HIV virus uses what…
Virus ligand?
Cell receptors?
Virus ligand = gp-120 (Uses this to attach)
Cell receptors = CD4++ (HIV is a virus causing immunodeficiency; this virus attacks the immune cells, particularly CD4 and CD8 cells).
Viral receptors can be the primary determinant of ?
tropism
What are some examples of tissue tropism?
e.g. measles (skin cells) vs. mumps (salivary
gland
What are some examples of species tropism?
e.g. BHV-1 (Infects cattle but not human)
Bovine herpes virus 1
