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 |
