How are viruses detected and enumerated?
Electron microscopy
Viral Antigen detection (ELISA or Western)
Serology (detect immune response)
Molecular methods
The combined effects of virus replication and inhibition of host cell macromolecular synthesis leading to change or death
Cytopathic effect
Possible effects of viral replication on cells
-Death
-Growth transformation
Visible plaques that spread radially from virus particles
plaque forming units
This assay is cell culture based, expressed as plaque forming units
plaque assay
Limiting dilution assay tests viral effects on what two things?
Cell culture
Infection of test animals
Viral mRNA makes viral proteins, which mainly create what two things for viral replication?
Structural proteins and enzymes
What do all viruses need to make from viral nucleic acids?
Viral mRNA
Enzymes from viruses mainly serve what purpose?
Replication of viral nucleic acid further for viral assembly
Which is measurable first during replication, intracellular or extracellular viruses?
Intracellular
5 steps of viral growth cycle
Absorption and penetration (drop in titer)
Eclipse (no detection of infectious virus)
Maturation (progeny forming)
Latent (no extracellular virus detectable)
Release (budding, exocytosis, or passive)
What is lost during entry and uncoating?
Physical trace of virion
6 bases of Viral genetic info
DS DNA, SS DNA, DS RNA (fragmented)
SS RNA (+), SS RNA (-), SS Retro RNA (+)
Where do nuclear replicating viruses insert DNA?
Nucleus to parasitize host RNA Pol II
Ex of nuclear replication viruses?
Herpes, adeno, polyoma, papilloma, hepadna, parvo
What do cytoplasmic replication viruses use for DNA replication?
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (brings with it)
What are examples of positive sense RNA viruses?
Coronavirus
What is the message sent in positive sense RNA viruses?
Genome (use ribosome scanning to initiate translation)
Negative sense RNA viruses have RNA. What must happen before it can be extracted?
Must make a biochem complementary copy that represents viral mRNA
Negative sense RNA viruses use what to get started?
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (must keep with template)
What is unique about transcription of hepatitis delta virus?
Transcribed by host RNA pol II in nucleus
3 common pieces of retroviruses
RNA dependent DNA polymerase, RNaseH, DNA dependent DNA polymerase (collectively called reverse transcriptase)
Which virus type is diploid?
Retroviruses
DNA viruses encode how many replication proteins?
At least one
What do some DNA viruses encode to help the replication process?
DNA-dependent DNA polymerase
DNA viruses replicate where?
nucleus
Positive sense RNA viruses replicate where?
cytoplasm
In positive sense RNA viruses, viral protein must be cleaved. What are the two results?
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and structural proteins
What does the negative sense RNA virus play in positive sense replication?
Placeholder role to make lots of positive sense.
Which negative sense viruses replicate in the cytoplasm?
Rhabdo, paramyxo, filo viruses
Which negative sense RNA viruses replicate in nucleus?
orthomyxoviruses and hepatitis delta
What are RdRPs missing that DdDps have?
Proofreading capabilites, which makes them more hybrid.
Lentiviruses are what type of virus?
Retrovirus
When does reverse transcriptase occur in retroviruses?
Beginning when it comes into cell
What causes the infectivity in retroviruses?
Change in shape
How does hepatitis B virus replicate?
Reverse transcriptase
structure of hepadnavirus (hepB)
partially double stranded genomic DNA (completes change in host cell)
When does Hepadnavirus use Reverse transcriptase?
at end of replication cycle
Step where structural proteins accumulate in same cellular compartment where replication of progeny genomes
progeny nucleocapsid formation
What step for naked DNA/RNA viruses makes them infectious?
When they are encapsidated
Step that enveloped viruses must complete
Maturation
What is one of the differences related to the release of viruses?
egress, which can be apical or baso-lateral. Affects localized or disseminated infections.
