Specific types of viral vectors - retroviral, lentiviral, adenoviral, adeno-associated viral, and herpes simplex viral vectors - are then characterized.
This document describes characteristics of viruses. Key points include:
- Viruses are acellular infectious agents that contain either DNA or RNA and require host cells to replicate.
- They have an extracellular state as a virion containing a protein capsid and nucleic acid, and an intracellular state after entry into a host cell.
- Viruses infect a wide range of organisms from humans to plants to bacteria. They cause many common diseases.
- Viruses replicate by either a lytic cycle that destroys the host cell or a lysogenic cycle where the viral genome remains dormant in the host.
DNA viruses like poxviruses, herpesviruses, and hepatitis B viruses use DNA as their genetic material. Herpesviruses have larger virions and genomes than adenoviruses. They enter cells through fusion with the plasma membrane or endocytosis. During replication, herpesviruses use host enzymes to transcribe early genes that regulate expression of late genes for structural proteins. Virions assemble in the nucleus and acquire an envelope as they bud through the inner nuclear membrane. Viral genomes evolve through spontaneous or induced mutation during replication and by recombining genetic material within or between viruses through breaking and rejoining DNA or RNA.
Viruses have capsids made of protein subunits that enclose and protect their nucleic acid. Viruses come in two main shapes - helical or icosahedral - determined by the arrangement of capsomers in the capsid. Some viruses have an envelope in addition to the capsid.
Viral replication involves the virus binding to and entering a host cell, then using the cell's machinery to produce new viral components which are assembled and released to infect new cells. DNA and RNA viruses replicate via different mechanisms using virus-specific enzymes. Animal virus replication is more complex than bacterial viruses due to host cell complexity.
Growing viruses requires appropriate cell cultures or animal hosts that provide an environment where the virus can replicate
