Viruses
Viruses are the smallest organisms in biology; however, the debate is still on whether to classify them as living.
What makes something living or non-living?
Are viruses living?

Are Viruses Living?
Living Characteristics:
contain DNA or RNA have protein ( therefore Carbon) contain small amounts of enzymes
![Page 4: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Are Viruses Living?
Non Living Characteristics
Non cellular Do not respire (breathe), respond to
stimuli, or “grow” Reproduce only within living cells, and
are assembled in parts which join together.

Cell Theory by Schleiden & Schwann
All living things are composed of cells
The cell is the basic living unit of organization
All cells arise from pre-existing cells
Cells do not come from nonliving things
![Page 6: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is a Virus?
A virus is a noncellular particle made up of genetic material and protein that can invade living cells
Viruses use the living host cells to reproduce their viral DNA
Viruses are considered to be nonliving

HistorySmall Pox Prior to the 1700s this disease meant
certain death Edward Jenner observed that milkmaids
would survive this disease Jenner Hypothesized that cow pox
provided protection Proved this by injecting his own son and
named this technique vaccination (Latin for “pertaining to the cow)

Discovery of Viruses First identified was the tobacco mosaic viruses
Adolf Meyer (1883) - discovered the disease could be spread via juice from an infected plant.
Dmitri Ivanowski (1893)- Passed sap through bacteria filters – small bacteria or chemical toxin?
![Page 10: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Discovery of Viruses Martinus Beijerinick (1890s)- Diluted filtered sap
and found it was still toxic
Concluded that a extremely small pathogen was at work (virus = dutch for poison)
Wendell Stanley (1930s) -Used the electron microscope to identify TMV
![Page 11: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Viral Diversity Viruses come in many
shapes and sizes
Viruses are much too
small to be seen with
any light microscope.
The smallpox virus is more
than 5 times smaller than
the bacterium E. coli

Structure of a Virus
A typical virus is composed of:
Nucleic Acid (DNA) Capsid (protein coat to protect DNA)
Bacteriophage T4 is a complex virus with a tail and tail fibers
![Page 15: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

VIRUSES
![Page 18: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Viral Life Cycles
There are two cycles for viral reproduction:
Lytic Cycle
Lysogenic Cycle
These two cycles should not be seen as separate, but rather interchangeable.
![Page 19: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lytic Cycle This type of viral infection follows the pattern of
infection, replication, and lysis.
Viral infection can spread quickly in a multicellular organism as the lytic cycle is repeated over and over again destroying hundreds of host cells at an exponential rate in a matter of hours.
Viruses that produce a lytic cycle are said to be virulent.
![Page 20: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Lytic Cycle
Part A: Infection
virus attaches to specific cell cell specificity
Part B: Replication & Assembly
cell is opened by enzymes virus DNA or RNA enters into the cell, remaining
structures stay outside.
![Page 22: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lytic CyclePart B Continued
virus DNA is inserted into host DNA causing the replication of more virus DNA and parts.
Virus parts and DNA are assembled
Part C: Lysis
Viruses burst out of the host cell lysis 1 virus in up to 300 viruses out!
Host cell is destroyed
![Page 23: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lysogenic Cycle In this pattern of infection, the viral DNA is
incorporated into the host cell’s chromosome and remains dormant while it is mass-produced as the host cell divides.
A virus that exists in the cell but does not lyse out of the cell is called latent.
The latent period can last for years. Ex: HIV latent period can be 10-25 years.
![Page 24: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lysogenic Cycle
When conditions trigger activation of the viral chromosome, replication and lysis follow the lytic cycle.
Activation of dormant viruses can be caused by UV radiation, stress, temperature, nutrients, etc
![Page 25: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Retroviruses Some viruses contain RNA instead of DNA
A retrovirus assembles its code into the host cell’s DNA
HIV is a retrovirus
Cancer causing viruses are also retroviruses

Defense against VIRUSES
![Page 36: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Our Immune System:
is the most complex system in our body
is our primary defense against infection from pathogens
effectively responds to antigens (foreign substances on pathogens like viruses & bacteria) in a number of different ways
![Page 37: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Our Immune System is controlled by our white blood cells:
Phagocytes = white blood
cells that engulf and destroy
antigens
Lymphocytes = B and T Cells
![Page 38: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
White Blood Cells
B – Lymphocytes (B-cells)
mature in our bone marrow and make
antibodies
![Page 39: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Antibodies Antibodies are special proteins that bind to
specific antigens on the surface of a pathogen and help destroy it by poking holes in its structure.
![Page 40: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
White Blood Cells
T - Lymphocytes :
function by identifying & presenting the antigen to the B – cells to activate antibody production.
Low T - Cell counts
are implicated in cancers.
![Page 41: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Immunity The production of antibodies from the first
exposure to an antigen is called the primary immune response
Once the body has been exposed to an antigen, a large number of B and T- Cells (memory cells) remain capable of producing a more powerful and faster secondary immune response to the same antigen
![Page 42: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
ImmunityThere are different types of immunity:
Innate born with it
Acquired achieved in four ways:
Immunity Active (antibodies produced by one’s own body)
Passive (produced by other animals)
Natural 1, 3.
Artificial 2, 4.
![Page 43: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Acquired Immunity
Immunity Active (antibodies produced by one’s own body)
Passive (produced by other animals)
Natural 1. Exposure to the pathogen

Defense against VIRUSES
![Page 49: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Our Immune System: Consists of specific and nonspecific defenses
against infection
Nonspecific defenses are the body’s primary line of defense against all pathogens
Specific defense mechanisms involve the production of antibodies against particular pathogens (discussed last class)
![Page 50: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Nonspecific Defenses Nonspecific defenses provide physical and
chemical barriers against infection
Non-specific defense mechanisms can be divided into first-line and second-line defenses
![Page 51: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Nonspecific Defenses First-line defences are barriers to keep
pathogens from entering the body, including:
• Skin• Oil & sweat • Tears & saliva• Mucus & cilia• Stomach acid• Beneficial bacteria
![Page 52: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Nonspecific Defenses
With a partner, answer the following questions:
How do these barriers defend the body? Make a list.
What is the most important nonspecific defense?
![Page 53: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Nonspecific Defenses If pathogens get passed the first line of defense,
then the a secondary line of defense begins called the Inflammatory Response:
Phagocytes engulf and destroy bacteria and other antigens near wounds or infected areas which become inflamed
If the infection spreads, a fever and swollen lymph nodes may result
![Page 54: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Inflammatory Response
![Page 55: Viruses](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815440550346895dc2459f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Nonspecific Defenses Another nonspecific defence is the interferon
An Interferon is a protein that is produced by host cells that have become infected by a virus
Once produced by infected cells,
interferons attach to nearby healthy
cells, preventing replication of the
virus particles in those cells.
