Viruses & Immunity
18
Viruses: a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of an organism.
Pathogen: is a microorganism—in the widest sense, such as a virus, bacterium, prion, or fungus—that causes disease in its host.
Capsid: is the protein shell of a virus.
Envelope: the membranal covering surrounding the capsid of a virus
Glycoprotein: are proteins that contain oligosaccharide chains (glycans) covalently attached to polypeptide side-chains.
Bacteriophage: is any one of a number of viruses that infect bacteria.
Lytic: is one of the two cycles of viral reproduction, the other being the lysogenic cycle. The lytic cycle is typically considered the main method of viral replication, since it results in the destruction of the infectedcell.
Provirus: is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell.
Lysogenic: is one of two methods of viral reproduction
Prion: is an infectious agent composed of protein in a misfolded form.
Viroid: are plant pathogens that consist of a short stretch (a few hundred nucleobases) of highly complementary, circular, single-stranded RNA without the protein coat that is typical for viruses.
Neutrophil: are the most abundant type of white blood cells in mammals and form an essential part of the innate immune system.
Marcophage: are cells produced by the differentiation of monocytes in tissues.
T Cells: belong to a group of white blood cells known aslymphocytes, and play a central role in cell-mediated immunity.
Vaccination: is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine) to stimulate an individual's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen.
HIV: is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),[1][2] a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.
Influenza: is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae, the influenza viruses.
Epidermis: the outermost layer of the skin of a human or other vertebrate animal
Antibodies: is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses.
