Cards

Term
Three Stages of HIV Entry
Definition

1. attachment: GP120 on virus attaches to CD4 receptor on host cell

covers the nucleic acid of virus


capsid+nucleic acid=nucleocapsid


give protection and recognizes entry sites

can hide for years

once incorporated in DNA, becomes a part of the chromosome

forms malignant transfromation: EBV, papilloma

cell death: rabies, polio

Term

Immune Mediated Response to Viruses as Pathogen

immune complex: depletes cartiledge (arthritis from hepititis b)

Term
Viruses Causing Cancer (3)

Term
Viruses That Cause Cancer (4)
Definition

Term
Prion
Definition
misfolded PrP protein that is an infectious agent
Term
Normal vs. Diseased PrP
Definition

normal: alpha helices: cellular PrP

disease causing: beta helices: prion PrP

normally, polysaccharides and proteins push PrP into cellular form

extra/mutated PrP may make prion

when present, prion makes new PrP fold that way

Term
