2 major surface glycoproteins of influenza
|
neuraminidase and hemagglutin
|
|
Genetic material of influenza
|
RNA
|
|
Antigenic drift occurs in which influenza strains?
|
A and B
|
|
Uptake of the viral particle into a host cell is mediated by which surface protein?
|
HA
|
|
What causes un-coating of the influenza viral particle?
|
H+ influx; leads to release of viral genome
|
|
Mechanism of drugs amantadine and rimantadine
|
inhibit viral un-coating by preventing H+ influx
|
|
Mechanism of oseltamivir and zanamivir
|
neuraminidase inhibitors; prevent removal of sialic acid inhibitors = virus aggregates and cannot spread. neuraminidase removes sialic acid from virus particles
