Questão | Responda |
Type of RNA | -ve ss RNA |
Virus Type | Enveloped- studded with NA or HA |
Genome Segmentation | 8 segments |
Proteins that Define Virus | HA and NA Variants |
Effects of Upper Resp. Tract Infection | Destroys epithelial cells, loss of cilia function and cytokine storm caused by host immunity |
Effects of Lower Resp. Tract Infection | Severe toxemia, replicates in alveoli and blocks air sacks |
Secondary Infections | More common in Lower Resp. Tract Infections- Major Concern |
M2 | Ion channel that carries the acidification of the vesicle into the virion to release DNA |
HA Full Name | Haemaglutinin |
HA Role | Trimer for virus attachment through Receptor Mediated Endocytosis |
HA Inside the Vesicle | Changes conformation (unfolds) upon acidification |
HA Interaction Inside Vesicle | Interacts with Sialic Acid when unfolded, then refolds, fusing the membranes together |
Replication- Necessities | To make a complimentary +ve strand so -ve strand can be made |
Genome Protein Transcription | +ve strand is used to make proteins |
Role of Fragmentation | Allows for potential reassortment between 2 strains in the same cell |
Influenza A Polymerase | Makes own, but is CAP stealing- takes 10-13 nt sequence from cellular mRNA |
Location of Virion Assembly | Cell Envelope |
NA (Full Name) | Neuraminidase |
NA Role | Cleaves HA-Sialic Acid links and allows virion to exit cell |
Drug Targets | M2 & NA |
Vaccine Half Life | Generally useless by season after next |
Whole Virus Vaccine | Good Immunity but side reactions |
Split Vaccine | Detergent extracted whole virus |
Subunit Vaccine | Detergent Extracted NA & HA from strain |
