In this lecture virology course, we define viruses, discuss their discovery and fundamental properties.
Intrinsic and innate
We discuss the different parts of the infectious cycle and how to study them
Adaptive immunity
The viral genome is the blueprint for making new virus particles. We review seven types of DNA and RNA viral genome
Mechanisms of Pathogenesis
Virus particles are constructed in three ways: with helical, icosahedral, or complex symmetry.
Acute Infections
Viruses must enter cells to replicate, but they are too large to pass through the membrane of the cell.
Persistent infections
RNA virus genomes are copied into mRNA by a viral enzyme, RNA dependent RNA polymerase.
Transformation and Oncogenesis
When DNA viral genomes enter the cell, the first biosynthetic step is transcription, which occur on double-stranded templates.
Vaccines...
The mechanisms of DNA replication, including how origin-binding proteins recruit the host synthetic apparatus & replication.
