BIOL 440 Exam 3
Innate Immunity (CH 15)
1st Line of Defense
Skin, Mucosa Membranes, some antimicrobial substances (skin keeps microbes out)
2nd Line of defense
Inflammation, Fever, phagocytosis, natural killer cells
PHAGOCYTOSIS (cell eating) STEPS:
- chemotaxis (chemical movement)
- attachment
- formation of a phagosome
- formation of a phagolysosome/digestions
- release
ALL Phagocytes are white blood cells, NOT all white blood cells are phagocytes!
-
Viruses (CH 13)
Characteristics
SPIKES for attachment!
Small Obligate Parasites
No cellular organelles
Capsid=protein coat/protection
Contain DNA or RNA
DO NOT Metabolize
Capsid = Protection!
&responsible for viral shapes: Polyhedral, Helical, Complex
Nucleic Acids (functions):
--Strategy for entering a cell
--The synthesis of viral nucleic acids and proteins
--Strategy for exiting the cell
Viral Replication
-
Steps of replication:
- Attachment
- Penetration
- Biosynthesis
- Maturation/assembly
- Release
-
Bacteriophages (bold) VS. Animal Viruses
Attachment: Tail Fibers / Spikes
Entry: Viral DNA Injected into cell / Whole virus injected
Uncoating: Extracellular / Intracellular
Biosynthesis: In cytoplasm / In the nucleus (DNA) or cytoplasm (RNA)
Release: Host lysed in lytic phase, but might not be in the lysogenic phase / Enveloped virus bud out; non-enveloped lyse the cell
Exist in 2 states:
- Extracellular (Dormant)
- Intracellular (viral replication occurs)
