Viral Mutations

Viral Mutations

A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material for adaptive...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.

Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and reactivity.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Variación antigénica en el virus visna.

J V Scott, L Stowring, A T Haase

|October 1, 1979

Resumen

Este resumen es generado por máquina.

El virus de Visna sufre variación antigénica a través de mutaciones en su gen de glicoproteína, no recombinación. Esto conduce a distintas variantes virales que evaden las respuestas inmunes del huésped.

Sus antecedentes:

El virus Visna causa una infección lenta y persistente en las ovejas.
La variación antigénica es un mecanismo clave para la evasión inmune en los lentivirus.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para investigar la base genética de la variación antigénica en el virus visna.
Para diferenciar entre la mutación y la recombinación como la causa de la generación de variantes.

Principales métodos:

Aislamiento y caracterización de las variantes antigénicas secuenciales (LV1-1, LV1-4) de ovejas infectadas.
Análisis comparativo de mapas péptidos para la glicoproteína de envoltura (gp135) y las proteínas centrales (p30, p16, p14).
Digestión de la ribonucleasa T1 para comparar los patrones de oligonucleótidos de ARN.

Principales resultados:

Se identificaron dos variantes antigénicas distintas, LV1-1 y LV1-4.
Solo la glicoproteína gp135 del sobre mostró diferencias en los mapas péptidos entre las variantes.
Los mapas de ARN eran idénticos, y sólo unos pocos fragmentos de péptidos en gp135 fueron alterados.
gp135 fue identificado como el polipéptido inmunodominante que provoca anticuerpos neutralizantes.

Conclusiones:

La mutación dentro del gen de la glicoproteína del virus visna es el probable impulsor de la variación antigénica.
La recombinación es menos probable dada la estabilidad genética observada de otros componentes virales.
Comprender este mecanismo es crucial para desarrollar estrategias efectivas de control del virus visna.
