Naked DNA or RNA virus
Surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid, capsid is coded for by the NA on the inside of the capsid and is composed of virulent proteins
Enveloped DNA or RNA Virus
Has a cell membrane on the outside of the capsid.
Virion
complete virus particle with its DNA or RNA core and protein coat as it exits outside the cell
Virus
Obligate intracellular parasites that need to get into suceptible cells to reproduce. Can have RNA or DNA not both
Naked virus replication
Viral attachment protein is on the surface of capsid it finds the correct receptor and attaches to the cell, this allows the NA to enter the cell.
Enveloped Virus replication facts
Need envelope to be effective, if no enveloped the virus is unable to infect cell and replicate.
Viruses that cause diahrea
Are all naked!!

Enveloped viruses are have their envelope destroyed by stomach acid
How a virus replicates?
They take over host cell's cellular machinery particularily ribosomes and make more copies of itself. DNA virus must enter nucleas to be transcribed
Mechanism for replication of NAKED VIRUS
1.RNA enters the cell, if Negative Sense viral ribosome makes complemenary strand of RNA so host ribosomes can work on it. POSITIVE SENSE the ribosomes work on it right away since strand can be read by ribosomes.
2.Ribosomes assemble viral proteins like capsid which assembles around the NA.
3. Naked viruses then lyse the cell and explode out into the body
Mechanism for replication of Enveloped viruses
1. Replicate NA
2. Assemble structural proteins around NA.
3. Specific Virus receptor protein is inserted into PM to modify it so the capsid and NA can bind there and take the modifed PM and envelope and get out.

Viral attachment protein is on the surface of capsid it finds the correct receptor and attaches to the cell, this allows the NA to enter the cell.
Phenotypic Mixing
When Virus A and B infect a cell at the same time and proteins mix
MAsking
When virus A NA gets into virus B capsid
Complementation
Virus A can't replicate in cell, Virus B comes along and supplies components Virus A needed
Assortment
Virus Segments get intermingled
Negative Sense
When the RNA that enters the cell from a virus is unable to be read by the ribosomes. Has an enzyme with it that allows for the synthesis of a complemenary strand that can be read by the ribosomes. Complimentary strand acts as mRNA
Positive Sense
Viral RNA that enters the cell can be read by the ribosomes and acts as mRNA
Ambisense
Has positive and negative sense characteristics
Naked virus cell replication
1. RNA enters cell and it is replicated by the host or by itself so that proteins can be assembled right awy like the capsid and structural viral proteins which assemble around the NA.

ONce the virus replicates it lyses the cell to escape into the blood stream.

Body responds to cell lysing and infection by creating antibodies that bind to virus and neutralize it
Enveloped virus replication
Enters the cell and causes replicate NA, assemble structural proteins around NA go to the specific virus receptor protein in PM with capsid so it can get out.

The body lyses these cells in order to stop production of enveloped viruses since they are like giant factories.
Specific virus receptor protein
Protein in PM that are inserted by enveloped viruses so they can take part of the cells membrane when they leave the cell.
Body response?
The body responds to the infection after a large amount of virus is already in the body. The killed cells release cytokines and cause inflammation and etc due to cell death.
Viruses travel in the body?
Viruses have to get to specific cells that have their receptors for infection to spread. Larger amount of virus in the blood greater chance of infection
Subclinical concepts
infection that does not cause disease

Only way to test for this if no symptoms present are to test for antigens
Target organ
Organ that viruses need to get to in order to cause infection.
Viral Pathogenesis
Virus enters body and the body responds to stop it from getting to target cells.

Virus can hide in nervous cells since the immune system cannot get there (latent viruses result <herpes>) There are no antivirals that can cure latent infections just reduce time of infection
Inclusion bodies-Cytopathogenic effects-
accumulation of viral proteins that accumulate in the cytoplasme of the cell. IE Herpes simplex 2 have viral protein that causes fusion of neiboring cells. Giant cell that is multinucleated
Subclinical disease and inapparent disease
Cause no apparent symptoms but possibly produce antigens
Acute Infections
Have short incubation time, get infected virus goes to target cause clinical disease
Localized infection
Virus infects the body and disease occurs at site of infection influenza
Disseminated
Longer incubation time since the virus must get to its target cell, Viruses travel throughout the body in different pathways.
Persistent viruses
Infections that take a long time to go away
Latent
may or may not have symptoms after infection but the disease comes and goes
Chronic
disease that you see early but then the virus hangs around for a long time and has infectious virus there Hepatits B

FIRST DEFENSE MECHANISM

Used to treat chronic viral infections: Inhibts virus replication by inhibiting several virus kinases. All cells in the body can synthsize interferon, it is the transferd to neighboring cells to creat Protein Kinases and S'A sythetase which causes the cell to become anti-viral stopping replication.

CELLS ARE MADE ANTIVIRAL TO ALL VIRUSES

SPECIES Specific
THE real first line of defense if the virus has been seen before
Immunoglobin A that is not in the blood normally
Induced Immune Suppression
when virus takes over a cell and stops its normal function. If virus takes over enough cells in the body, particularily lymphocytes, no longer able to make immune responses and the immun system is suppresssed for a time
active immunization
an injection of a virus into your body that causes you to make the antibodies. Takes a while for the body to ramp up the antibodies and make sensitized cells
passive immunization
when someone else makes the antibodies and then you have their antibodies injected into you (Rabies virus vaccine has this)
Live vaccines
Live virus given to an individual in an attenuated version that isn't that viral to the body, body kills it to make antibodies
1. Administered in single dose and follows normal route of infection so the body makes stronger resistance.
2. Very short half life, there is a chance that it can revert back to viralence and cause disease
Killed Vacines
Take inactive virus inject into ppl that allows them to make antibodies (Virus Doesnt go thru replication so the bodies defenses aren't as broad)
1. Allows for combination of a number of diff. virus strains.
2. Needs to be given more than once so the body can buid up its resistance again and again

Prions
NOT VIRUSES but are infectious particles that maybe acquired or inhereted and is closely related to PrP-sen which is on all PM
PrP-sen
normal prion that is present on PM.

When it comes in contact with PrP-res it goes through conformational change to become PrP-res
PrP-res
bad form of prion causes disease
Steps of Prion disease
1. PrP-res combines with other PrP-res to make amyloid fibers in brain.
2. Amyloid fibers kill brain cells
3. Astrocytes come in to clean up the killed cells
4. Spongoform created by astrocytes cleaning out dead cells

Allow complete Viral replication, the cell then dies/is lysed to release the virus.
Nonpermissive cells
Cells that don't allow virus to replicate, the cell is instead transformed and cannot control its cell growth.

Oncogene
causes cancer, the gas pedal for tumor formation
Nondefective viruses
have all virogens and can replicate themselves, also have high oncogenic potention if they contain oncogen
Defective viruses
Have virogene or part of virogene replace by oncogene, need helper viruses to help provide missing virogen products.

HIGH ONCOGENIC POTENTIAL
Retrovirus Replication
Are the ones that cause oncoviruses. Only diploid virus has reverstanscriptase

TYPE C retrovirus has oncovirus
Retrovirus must do what in order to infect a cell
They must enter the nucleus, In order to produce viral DNA the viral mRNA must be incorporated into host DNA using viral reverse transcriptase
Acute transforming virus
A virus that lacks all the necessary viral genes but has picked up an oncogene, this can tranform the cell
Chronic transforming virus
Insertal activation or promoter insertion

Put DNA copy of viral RNA onto site of chromosome that was previously shut down, it is then turned on and leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation.

Essentially, as a result of making viral proteins the viral mRNA makes a product that activates synthesis. Takes a long time
Steps of Retrorvirs introduction into cells
1. Rna tumor virus enters cell
2.Reverse Transcriptase incorportates it into host cell DNA.
3. Transcription viral proteins and mRNA made in host cell.
4.This is then emmited from the cell, if it picked up a cellular oncogen during transcription it can then tranform the next cell infected into a tumor cell
