Questions

1. How is HIV assembly different from influenza assembly?

2. Apoptosis can be triggered by a number of stimuli, yet ultimately all apoptotic pathways have common characteristics. What are some examples of similarities? Provide two examples of mechanisms by which viruses block apoptosis.

3. Why do viruses use microtubules and microfilaments for different purposes? Specifically, what is it about the different structures of microtubules and microfilaments that make them amenable for different purposes during virus replication?

4.Classify oncogenic viral infections according to whether oncogenesis is a dead end for viral replication or not.

5. Why are dysregulated cell proliferation and blocking of apoptosis common in most malignancies?

6. What is the mechanism by which all retroviruses can cause cancer? Why is this a concern when using retroviral vectors in gene therapy?

7. What are some differences between viral oncoproteins and cellular proto-oncoproteins?
