Resource summary
Herpes Viruses
INTRO
Herpesviridae
Structure
DNA core
DS DNA
Enters though nuclear pore
Capsid
Capsomeres
Bind microtubules
Transport to nucleas
Tegument
Viral enzymes
Envelope
Glycoprotein spikes
Pro-capsid
VP5 pentons & hexons
Infectious cycle
1.Viral DNA enters nucleus and circularizes
2. IE genes expressed via tegument VP16
3. IE proteins activate E gene
4. Transcription stimulates L genes
structural proteins
5. DNA encapsidation
6. Egress
Success strategies
Fast invasion
Inhibit host protein synth
Viral DNA to nucleus
Immune evasion
Blocks antigen presentation
Prevents apoptosis
Latent persistance
Lymphoma and CNS cells
Chromatin organisation
Express LAT
Promotes heterochromatin formation
VP16 in cytoplasm
Virion transactivatin g protein
Usually suppresses heterochromatin
IE genes repressed
Intermediate early
HCF in cytoplasm
Host cell factor
Regulates gene expression
Main types
A.HSV-1
Symptoms
Genital herpes
2-3d = itching/throbbing
blisters then scabbing
Triggers:
stress
immune compromisation
Complications
Herpes encephalitis
Blindness
Convulsions
Brain inflammation/oedma
Neonatal herpes
gingivostomatitis
Cold sore like lesions in mouth
Herpes keratitis
Treatments
Acyclovir
guanine base anologue
GTP
specific to infected cells
activated by viral thymidine kinase
Pencyclovir
B. Varicellar-zoster virus
Primary infection
Chicken pox
prodrome 1-3d
headache/malaise
Fever
Systemic infection
travels to skin
pustules
Complications
Pneumonia
Congenital
encephalitis
Reye's syndrome
Incubation
Vaccine
Varivax
Attenuated virus
Reccurrent infection
Shingles
symptoms
blisters encircle trunk
headaches
facial paralysis
Travels down spine
Dermatomes
C.EBV
Infectious mononucleosis
symptoms
fever
sore throat
enlarged lymph nodes/splene
Diagnosis
mononuclear cells
increased lymphoctes
Anti-EBV antibodies
Paul-Bunnel test
Burkitts lymphoma
B cell tumor
EBV DNA present
Treatment
cyclophosphamide
Plasmodium faciparum
Drives Th2 response
infected B cell prolif.
benefits EBV
IL-10
EBV induces
c-myc translocation 8;14
proto-oncogene proximity to IgH promotor
BIM repression
BIM = pro-aptotic
Life cycle
1.saliva
2. infects naive B cells
Drive B cell prolif. in GC
LAT genes expressed
3.terminal differentiation to plasma cells
D.CMV
Similar to EBV
Latent in salivary glands and kidney
congenital complications
ie. immunocompromised
E.HHV-8
Kaposi sarcoma
common in AIDS
severe due to immune status
