Definition
| to attract and retain other material on the surface |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| any change in the molecular configuration of ones cells that may result in attack by the immune system. This state may be a result of viral invasion of cells, cancer, radiation, or poisoning |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| short for deoxyribonucleic acid, the physic basis for the genetic code. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| entire genetic complement of an organism. In animals it involves DNA and RNA, but in viruses it is one or the other. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| rendered inert or nonfunctional by exposure to heat of sufficient temperature and duration |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| quiescent state awaiting later reactivation, which may occur years later. In the case of latent viruses, they insert their DNA into the host cell DNA to be replicated together. Frequently stress is implicated in teh viruses resurgence and resultant disease state. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| agent that ruptures and therefore kills host cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ability to cause lysis or produce lysins, ability to exit a host cell by rupturing that cell causing death. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
Term
|
Definition
| pathway by which a pathogenic agent gains entry to the body |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| proteinaceaous infections particle, the smallest known microorganism. Laboratory tests indicate that although this microorganism does not possess any nucleic acid, it consists of protein and is capable of producing desease.. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| pathway by which a pathogenic agent gains entry to the body |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| produced through DNA technology using the pathogens genome to create the anigenicity and immune response. because the virus is not intact there is no risk of disease to the patient |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| resistant capable of withstanding adverse conditions and surviving |
|
|
Term
| reverse transcriptase RNA |
|
Definition
| enzyme of RNA viruses that catalyzes the transcription of RNA to DNA, which is then incorporated into a genome of the host cell self recognized by the immune system as ones own molecular configuration and therefore tollerated |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| one form of nucleic acid, of which there are 3 forms. ribosomal,messenger, and transfer. The codes for the assemble of proteins. Some viruses such as the retroviruses possess only RNA in there genome, but because they possess a reverse transcriptase enzyme, they can reverse code for DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| used to describe the early stages or a ery mild form of a disease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| strength per volume of a volumetric test solution |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Lymphocytes that do not produce antibody, rather they primarily act to destroy altered self in the body due to viral infection or neoplastic transformation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| state of being tolerated by the immune system and therefor not attacked. in health this occurs in ones own body only, if it is conveyed to microorganisims, it will result in an immunodeficiency. |
|
