what do the Bacteriophagesform?

Plaques, which are clearings on a lawn ofbacteria on the surface of the agar

how does Eachplaque corresponds to virus?

to single virus

plaque canbe expressed as

•plaque-formingunits (PFU)

Viralgrowth is signaled by

•changes or death of the embryo

GrowingAnimal Viruses in the Laboratory. we use?

•livinganimals


•embryonatedeggs




They inject the virus into the egg


•Viral growth is signaled by changesor death of the embryo

what is •cytopathiceffect (CPE)

Virallyinfected cells are detected via their deterioration. this is the same idea is plaque

why cell cultures are preferred over embryonated eggs?

it is a preferred type of growth medium for many viruses because it is easier than whole animal embryonated eggs.

GrowingAnimal Viruses in the Laboratory. we use

•Tissues are treated with enzymes toseparate cells, cells then are suspended in culture medium, normal cells or primary cells grow in monolayer across the glass but transformed cells do not grow in a monolayer

what is •Continuouscell lines?

They are the ones that are used when growing viruses in the laboratory.

Transformed cells or Cancerous Cells

Continuous cells that can be maintain for many generations or for ever. That is why they are called immortal cell lines.

describe the lytic cycle of T-even bacteriophage

•Phage causes lysis and death of thehost cell

describe the lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage lambda

•Phage DNA is incorporated in thehost DNA•Phage conversion•Specialized transduction

compare and contrast the multiplication cycle of DNA and RNA-containing animal viruses

DNA multiplication happens in the Nucleus of the host cell while RNA happens in the cytoplasm of the host cell.

Lysogeny

•phageremains latent•PhageDNA incorporates into host cell DNA•Inserted phage DNA is known as a prophage

•Specialized transduction

•Specific bacterial genestransferred to another bacterium via a phage•Changes genetic properties of thebacteria

TheBiosynthesis of DNA Viruses is in

•DNAviruses replicate their DNA in the nucleus of the host using viral enzymes




•Synthesizecapsid in the cytoplasm using host cell enzymes

TheBiosynthesis of RNA Viruses is in

•Virusmultiplies in the host cell's cytoplasm using RNA-dependent RNA polymerase


•ssRNA; +(sense) strand


•Viral RNA serves as mRNA forprotein synthesis•ssRNA; –(antisense) strand


•Viral RNA is transcribed to a +strand to serve as mRNA for protein synthesis


•dsRNA—double-stranded RNA


does not use a host enzyme

reversetranscriptase

•Single-strandedRNA, produce DNA


•Use reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from the viralgenome

•provirus

the genetic material of a virus as incorporated into, and able to replicate with, the genome of a host cell.

•provirus

•Viral DNA integrates into the hostchromosome as a provirus

Sarcoma

cancer of connective tissue

Oncogenicviruses

becomeintegrated into the host cell's DNA and induce tumors

Atransformed cell harbors a tumor-specifictransplant antigen

•(TSTA)on the surface and aTantigen inthe nucleus
