Family Name: Filo
Classification of Measles Virus
-class 5: RNA, ss, (-)
-helical
-enveloped (pH Independent)
Family Name: Paramyxo
Form syncytia (cell to cell fusion >>> single cell)

Severe Measles Sequelae : SSPE ~1 per 1E6 cases
Classification of Small Pox Virus
-class 1: DNA, ds ***covalently joined ends
-undergoes concatamer resolution
-Symetry: complex
-enveloped (cytoplasmic)
Family Name: Pox
Morphological Changes: Creates Factories (guarnieri bodies) in the cytoplasm

**Can cause cancer (shope fibroma)

Incubation Period 12-14 Days
Three Inhibitory Roles of Ab's during Viral Infection of a Cell.
1. Block binding to a receptor
2. Can Block endocytosis or fusion event.
3. Can block release of genome into the cell.
4 Methods of Viral Suppression of Host Immune Response
1. Inhibition of humoral immunity:
Mech: Virus produces complement protein
Result: Inhibits complement activation.

2. Inhibition of inflammatory response
Mech: Produces Viral cytokine receptor
Result: blocks cellular cytokine action

3. Blocking of Ag processing and presentation.
Mech: Inhibition of MHC1 expression
Result: inhibits CTL recognition of cell and thereby cell mediated apoptosis
4. Immunosuppression of host.
Mech: Produces viral homolog to IL-10
Result: Inhibits TH1 response (cell mediated: destruction of Ag in vacuoles)
Polio Virus Life Cycle:
1. attachment
2. uncoating
3. translation
4. protein processing (P1: structural proteins for virus capsid [VP0, VP1, VP3]; P2/P3 protein synthesis proteins for replication)
5. (-) RNA strand synthesis
6. (+) RNA strand synthesis
a. Early in Infection: makes lots of copies of the original positive strand which undergo protein processing
b. Late in Infection: products enter morphogenesis portion of cycle and are packaged into virions
7. Translation
8. Morphogenesis: Provirion (formed by Structural proteins and positive strand RNA)→Virion
9. Release from cell by lysis
Killed Polio Vaccine Pros And Cons
Pros:
-virus is inactivated and can therefore be used in immunosuppressed individuals
-provides systemic immunity

Cons:
-intramuscular injection w/ repeated doses
-expensive
-potential hazard of exposure during production
-reduced intestinal immunity
Live Polio Vaccine Pros and Cons
Pros:
-systemic and intestinal immunity generated
-inexpensive and easily administer (oral)
-herd immunity
Cons:
-mutates to neurovirulent form.
-not appropriate for immunosuppressed individuals
-those poor monkeys
