Question
Answer
cell tropism   Viral affinity for specific body tissues (tropism) is determined by  
🗑
Cells can respond to viral infections in 3 ways   1) No apparent change, (2) Death, and (3) Transformation  
🗑
Systemic Spread   Apart from direct cell-to-cell contact, the virus may spread via the blood stream and the CNS.  
🗑
Primary Replication   Virus's first replication site  
🗑
Secondary replication   Virus second site of replication after systemic spread to this second site  
🗑
Three modes of viral entry and replication   Primary, secondary, systemic  
🗑
Why do retrovitroviruses not usually cause cell death? Why does this allow them to spread?   Retroviruses do not generally cause cell death, being released from the cell by budding rather than by cell lysis, and cause persistent infections.  
🗑
What is true latency   True Latency - the virus remains completely latent following primary infection. Its genome may be integrated into the cellular genome or exists as episomes. Persistence - the virus replicates continuously in the body at a very low level  
🗑
Most common type of viral damage to cell   Cell lysis  
🗑
Types of genetic change   mutation, recombination  
🗑
Tautomerism–   A base is changed by the repositioning of a hydrogen atom, altering the hydrogen bonding pattern of that base resulting in incorrect base pairing during replication.  
🗑
Point mutation   POINT- often caused by chemicals or malfunction of DNA replication, exchange a single nucleotide for another.  
🗑
Insertion   INSERTION- add one or more extra nucleotides into the DNA. They are usually caused by transposable elements, or errors during replication of repeating elements.  
🗑
Deletion   DELETION- removal of one or more nucleotides from the DNA. Like insertions, these mutations can alter the reading frame of the gene. They are generally irreversible  
🗑
Phenotype   PHENOTYPE: the observed properties of an organism  
🗑
Conditional lethal phenotypic change   CONDITIONAL LETHAL - multiply under some conditions but not others - wild-type (wt) grows under both sets of conditions  
🗑
What property do attenuated mutants have?   ATTENUATED MUTANTS milder (or no) symptoms vaccine development pathogenesis  
🗑
Copy choice recombination   Copy choice a genetic recombination mechanism where the new DNA molecule comes about by replicating selected parts of each parental DNA molecule and by alternating between the two (maternal and paternal).  
🗑
Helper virus   use when copies of a helper dependent viral vector lacks ability to replicate on its own. The helper virus is used to co-infect cells alongside the viral vector and provides the necessary enzymes for replication of the genome of the viral vector.  
🗑
Phenotyping mixing   No changes in genome Possibly altered host range Possibly resistant to antibody neutralization  
🗑
Mapping by recombination frequency-   The mathematical relationship expressing the frequency at which crossing over occurs between two chromosomal loci and the probability that two loci will become unlinked.  
🗑
Mapping by marker rescue-   Repair of a mutational defect by recombination.  
🗑
Recombinant vaccines   Insert the antigen into a virus with very low pathogenicity and this virus can be used as a vaccine, or the antigen can be filtered out and used as a subunit vaccine  
🗑
Viral Replication   Recognition of target cell, attachment, penetration, Uncoating, macromolecular synthesis, assembly, budding of enveloped viruses, release  
🗑
  The binding of VAPs on the surface of virion to the receptors on the cell  
🗑
Tropism   Tropism - the ability of a virus to replicate in particular cells or tissues.  
🗑
  is controlled partly by the route of infection but largely 1. By the interaction of a virus attachment protein (V.A.P.) with a specific receptor molecule on the surface of a cell, and has considerable effect on pathogenesis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
