What must viruses be grown in?
Living cells
The 5 step Cycle of multiplication of Bacteriopgaes is known as
Lytic Cycle
Step 1 of the Lytic Cycle
Attachment host cell
Phage attaches by tail tibers and pins to the cell membrane
Step 2 of the Lytic Cycle
Penetrating and Uncoating Phage lysozyme opens cell wall, tail sheath Contracts to Force tail core and DNA into cell
Step 3 of the Lytic Cycle
Biosynthesis
Replication of phage DNA and synthesis of capsid proteins
Step 4 of the Lytic Cycle
Maturation
Aseembly of phage particles
Step 5 of the Lytic Cycle
Release
Phage lysozyme destrotys cell wall; osmotic lysis of cell
In Animal Viral Taxonomy viruses have a _____ and _____ name
genus
species
In Animal Viral Taxonomy the genus name end in what word?
virus
In Animal Viral Taxonomy viral species are considered what?
A group of viruses sharing the same genetic information and ecological niche (host). Common names are used for species
In Animal Viral Taxonomy subspecies are designated by what?
a number
EX HSV1 (cold spores) HSV2 (genital warts)
When 1 virus infects 1 cell it is able to make how many new viruses in 25 minutes?
400
Describe the 1 step growth curve of viruses
0-5 minutes: Penetrations
5-25 minutes: Biosynthesis and maturation
after 25 minutes: Cell burst pgae particles are released by lysis
Viruses are grouped into families based on what?
Similar physical properties
What are the 3 types of living cells used for growing animal viruses?
1) Live animals
2) Enbryonated eggs
3) Tissue Culture
When Animal viruses are grown in tissue cell culture Normal or Primary cells are grown in _____ on plastic and Transformed or Continues cell cultures form _____ .
monolayers
foci
Virus infection causes what kind of effect? Which does what?
Cytopathic effect which make cell round and detach from a monolayer
Step 1 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
Attachments
Virsuses attaches to cell membrane
Step 2 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
Penetation
By Endocytosis (naked virus) or Fusion (enveloped)
Step 3 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
Uncoating
envelop removal or capsid removal
Step 4 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
Biosynthesis
synthesis of nucleic acid and proteins
Step 5 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
Maturation
Nucleic acid and capsid proteins assemble
Step 6 in Multiplication of Animal Viruses
Release
By buddying (enveloped viruses) or Lysis (ruptures of cytoplasmic membrane)
Penetration and Uncoating by Fusion
The spikes of the capsid attach to the cell membrane and fuse with the cell membrane.
Penetration and Uncoating by Endocytosis
The naked virus attachs to the cell membrane and is engulfed. Inside the vacuole it is called an endosome. The virus will lose its capsid and uncoat near the nuclear membrane while releasing info into the nucleas.
Describe Phase 1 of Retroviruses
Phase 1 is known as Intigrations which is under control of the virus
Viral RDDP converts vRNA to vDNA
Viral inegrase inserts vDNA into cell chromosomes
Describe Phase 2 of Retroviruses
Phase 2 is known as Multiplication which is under control of the cell
cell DDRP transcribes viral message from provirus
cell ribosomes translates viral message into viral proteins
virus assembles and buds from cell
