GENERAL FEATURES OF VIRUSES


Size: very small in size is measured by nm which is 10-9meter or 10-3micrometer.It needs electron microscope to be detected. Obligate intracellular parasite Contain either DNA or RNA never both. Can affect humans, animals, insects, bacteria and plants. They do not respond to any antibiotic.

STRUCTURE OF THE VIRUSES


Genome: the viral nucleic acid carries the genetic information in either DNA or RNA which is considered as the finger prints of the virus. Capsid (Protein coat): is the protein shell which enclose the nucleic acid. It is formed of small units called capsomeres.

STRUCTURE OF THE VIRUSES


1It protects the viral genome extracellular environments. against

2- It carries the viral attachment proteins (VAP) which are glycoproteinsthat attach the virus to a specific receptor on the target cell. 3- Determine the antigenic characters of the virus. 4- It is responsible for the symmetry of the virus.

VIRAL SYMMETRY
1.

Cubic or icosahedralsymmetry Herpes viruses.

e.g.

VIRAL SYMMETRY
2Helical symmetry: the capsomeresare bound together as ribbons which are twisted into spiral. The NA winds in a helical form inside the protein helix e.g. Influenza virus.

3- Complex symmetry e.g. Small pox

The Shape of the Virus


The shape of the virus vary, may be:
Spherical Filamentous Bullet shape

Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

14

ENVELOPE
It is a protein containing a lipid membrane that surrounds the capsidin some viruses. Here the VAP is carried and present on the envelope. The enveloped viruses are killed by lipid solvents e.g. ether
Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

15

THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL AGENTS


Viruses are sensitive to:
1- UV: Ultraviolet irradiation. 2- Ether: only the enveloped viruses are sensitive to ether. 3- Oxidizing agents: as formaldehyde, CL, I2and H2O2 4- Sensitivity to heat: - Most viruses are inactivated at 56C for 30 min or at 100C for few seconds - Viruses are stable at low temp, can be stored at Dr. 40C -70C.

Most viruses are relatively resistant to:


Phenols and glycerol, therefore sometimes glycerol is used as preservative to prevent bacterial contamination of viral suspensions

CLASSIFICATION OF VIRUSES
DNA Viruses
Most are double stranded All are icosahedralexcept small pox virus. Most are none enveloped except Herpesv and hepatitis B virus.

RNA Viruses
Most are Helical and all the helical are enveloped. Some are enveloped icosahedralas the HIVand the German measles v, while Polio and hepatitis C are naked

Classification By Symptomatology
1- Diseases of the respiratory tract: influenza, parainfluenzaand common cold. 2- Diseases of the nervous system: poliomyelitis, aseptic meningitis and rabies. 3- Localized disease of the skin or mucous membrane: Herpes simplex type 1 (oral) and type 2 (genital) and wart.
Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

19

Classification By Symptomatology
4- Diseases of the liver: Hepatitis A E 5- Diseases of the eye: Herpesconjunctivitis 6- Diseases of the GIT: rotavirus diarrhea, enteric adenoviruses 7- Diseases of the genital tract: HSV 2, HIV

Viruses Replication
Viruses are obligatory intracellular as they are metabolically inert. After invading a cell, viruses use their own genes to redirect the machinery of the cell to produce new viruses; this is done by virus messenger RNA.

VIRUS GROWTH CYCLE


1. Adsorption , 2. Penetration, 3. Uncoating, 4. Transcription or eclipse phase, 5. Assembly 6. Release
Recognition and attachment to the target cell (by VAP) occurs by special receptors on the host cell

VIRUS GROWTH CYCLE

Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

Thursday 13/10/2011

23

Eclipse phase or transcription


Transcription leads to formation ofproteins as polymerase enzyme, virus specific antigens and then capsidis formed (no intact viruses are detected)

Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

Thursday 13/10/2011

24

Assembly
It is combination of the viral nucleic acid with the protein coat

Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

Thursday 13/10/2011

25

Release
Either by lysisof the cell in the none enveloped viruses or by budding from the cell membrane where the envelope is acquired from this membrane

Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

Host Response To Viral Infection


1- Humoral immune response
Antibody response to neutralize and eliminate the ongoing Infection and can also prevent reinfection.

2- Cell mediated immune response


Stimulate the production of lymphokinesas Interferon swhich is very important for defense against viruses
Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

Thursday 13/10/2011

27

Interferon
Are proteins produced by human cells in response to viral infection.

Dr. Mervat Elsaygh- Pharos University

Thursday 13/10/2011

28

Properties
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Are the first line of body defense against viral infection. It inhibit sviral replication. Host species specific. Not viral specific. It acts also as cell immune regulatory activity as activation of natural killer cells, activation of monocytesand macrophages and inhibition of cell growth. Recombinant DNA techniques now allow production of inexpensive large amount of interferon by yeast and bacteria.

CLINICAL USES
Used in treatment of sever viral infection e.g. rabies, herpetic encephalitis,.etc In the treatment of persistent viral infections e.g. hepatitis B & C,etc Used as anticancer agent on the basis of their cell immunomodulation properties. Treatment of multiple sclerosis.
