Virsuses:Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome& Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Outlinewe may need to save some topic in lecture • Origins of HIV based on scientific evidence • HIV viral particle • Mechanism of infection • Transmission • Treatment • AIDS • Prevention • Clinical Detection and Diagnosis
Red capped mangabey monkey Greater spot nose monkey SIV cpz almost identical to HIV 1 Humans
Pan troglodytes troglodytes Simian Virus (SIV cpz) almost identical to HIV 1
Sooty mangabey monkey Simian Virus corresponds to HIV2
HIV: Structure and mechanism of replication
Mechanism of Infection Infects Th cell VIRAL RNA Integrates into host DNA “activated” PROVIRAL DNA LYTIC STAGE storage LYSOGENIC STAGE

HIV and helper T cells HIV-1 HOST CELLS:helper T lymphocyte, macrophages
Transmission of HIV • Biological fluids • Blood • Sexual transmission (Semen) • Breast milk • Transplant tissues
Non-transmitting sources of HIV • Tears • Saliva • Mosquito or insects • Swimming pool • Food handling
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)Cocktail Therapy
Examples of anti-retroviral drugs • Cocktail Drug Mixtures • Protease inhibitors • Non-nucleoside RT Inhibitors (NNRTIs) • Nuleoside/nucleotide RT inhibitors (NRTIs) • * Fusion Inhibitors *Fuzeon • Integrase Inhibitors
Fusion Inhibitors block • Co-receptors on host cell • Gp120/gp 41 on viral particle or
Co-Receptors Binds naturally occurring chemokines CCR5 or CXCR4 (fusin)
Prevention • Condoms • Clean needles • Treatment of pregnant mother with anti-viral drugs • Blood screening • Abstinence
Symptoms of AIDS • Decrease T cell count • Rapid weight loss • Recurring fever and dry cough • Profound fatigue • Swollen lymph glands
Symptoms of AIDS • Persistent diarrhea • Unusual blemishes on the tongue, mouth, or throat • pneumonia • memory loss, depression
Acquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeOpportunistic Diseases and cancer • pneumonia • Kaposi’s Sarcoma Kaposi’s Sarcoma
HIV Diagnostic Tests • ELISA measures Indirect evidence of HIV exposure
HIV Diagnostic Tests • Western Blot • PCR Directly measures HIV
Polymerase Chain Reaction • Measures proviral DNA within the host DNA
Western Blot Identifies HIV proteins Protein ladder
Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) • A diagnostic test for Antibodies to HIV Antibodies
Antibodies are proteins produced by our immune system that are directed against specific antigens.
Antibodies Antigens Immune system Non-self
Now apply these concepts to the diagnostic test known as ELISA to detect antibodies against HIV from a biologic fluid.
ELISA MICROTITER PLATES Microtiter plate
The ELISA protocol sample Labelled 2nd Ab antigen 3 2 1 4 Color inducing substrate
Results POSITIVE ANTI-HIV COLOR CHANGE NEGATIVE ANTI-HIV NO COLOR CHANGE
