Medical Virology Fundamentals crossword
Across
- 1. ________ transcriptase must occur before PCR in order to detect the presence of RNA viruses in clinical samples
- 7. are created when virally-infected host cells fuse together to create giant multinucleated cells
- 9. the name of the spikes on enveloped viruses that are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific host receptors
- 11. the protein that makes up this component of enveloped viruses is just under the surface of the envelope and helps with stability
- 14. _____ sense RNA viruses have to create mRNA before it can be translated
- 17. a laboratory diagnostic technique that can be used to detect the nucleocapsid antigen of Influenza virus in respiratory secretions
- 18. the cell receptor for Influenza virus
- 20. the cellular compartment where the majority of DNA viruses replicate
- 22. the name of the spike that Influenza virus uses to bind to respiratory cells
- 23. the process by which most enveloped viruses are released from the host cell
- 25. this is always the first step in initiating infection
- 26. the shape of these viral coats means they must always be enveloped to be infection
Down
- 2. the period during initial viral infection of a host cell where early enzymes and the genome are being made, where intracellular virus is present but no extracellular virus
- 3. some viruses have an RNA genome that consists of more than 1 linear piece. This is called a ____________ genome
- 4. the term for when the envelope and/or capsid degrades inside a host cell and releases the nucleic acid
- 5. the suffix for a viral family
- 6. when a patient goes from antibody negative for a microbe to antibody positive for the same microbe
- 8. the name for the individual protein components that makes the coat around viruses
- 10. how most icosahedral non-enveloped viruses leave the host cell
- 12. the name for the protein coat that must surround all viral genetic material
- 13. the majority of viral DNA viruses only contain 1 copy of their genetic material, which makes them __________
- 15. the number of this Baltimore Classification are for single-stranded (negative-sense) RNA viruses
- 16. the shape of these viral coast is very symmetrical and they can look like soccer balls
- 19. _________ effect is the term for host cell changes in appearance due to some viral infections and can be diagnostic
- 21. the period where viral particles are being assembled but haven’t been released from the host cell yet
- 24. the first immunoglobulin made in a new infection
