1-Meet the Scientist: Watch interview with Dr Frederick Hayden who is an expert in antivirals to influenza. What are the targets and mechanisms of action of antiviral drugs to influenza? Why are there so few antivirals to influenza available? What are the problems with treating influenza with antivirals?
2-Drug resistance is a major obstacle for the development of antiviral therapies. How does resistance arise and why is it such a significant problem? Why do multi-drug combinations therapies help alleviate this problem? Give examples with a specific virus.
3-The first drug to be rationally developed to treat a viral disease was that of acyclovir for herpes virus infections. Read the first person account of the discovery of acyclovir by Nobel laureate Gertrude Elion. How does acyclovir inhibit a herpes virus infection? Why is it specific for virally infected cells, but not normal cells?
4-Meet the Scientist: Watch this short interview about how influenza vaccines are produced with Dr Derek Smith at the 2010 Interscience Conference on Antibacterial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC). Why is a new vaccine required for influenza each year? What is the Global Influenza Surveillance Network and how do they select a new vaccine each year? What type of vaccine is the seasonal influenza vaccine?
5-A major problem with vaccinating populations against Influenza A viruses is that a new vaccine must be developed each year. In the last few years, ideas have been proposed for making "Universal Influenza Vaccines" that would provide universal immunity against all or most strains of influenza A. The lab of Peter Palese at the Mt Sinai Medical Center has recently proposed a method for generating a universal vaccine using a "headless HA." Read the original paper and/or listen to the short interview with Peter Palese. What is his concept for generating a universal influenza vaccine? Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not? Could this concept be applied to develop vaccines for other viruses such as HIV?
Imagine that the sample of sediments are cemented together to form a sedimentary rock. After that, that rock is heated and compressed into a metamorphic rock.
Frank found himself in the midst of an ethical dilemma at work, and was using an ethical decision-making matrix, to address his work and personal values. Frank was most likely in which phase of the Ethical Decision-Making Framework.
All through other periods of time, Tony seems very "down." throughout these times he does not take care of himself. He seems to want to sleep all the time, and he often makes thinly veiled references to wanting to commit suicide.
Which of the following statements is true? The first cervical vertebra is called the axis.The spinal cord protects the vertebral column.
Do you think that using recombinant DNA technologies to change the genetic composition of human egg cell is ever justified? If so, what restrictions have to be placed on such a use.
Which of the follow is NOT a function of meiosis. Generation of genetic diversity by crossing over.
Would you expect the measurements to be equivalent in both preparations? If a variation in size is expected, how will you account for this difference.
A reaction has been developed to be carried out in the 5 ml total volume. It need a final glycine concentration of 20 µM. If the protocol enables 200µl for glycine addition, state the amount of the concentration would you make up the stock solutio..
How several 25 ml vials can they fill. An Eon of time is defined as 1 billion years (1x10^9 years). How long is this in seconds? Assume one year is equal to 365.25 days.
Joshua Ledergerg said, "Our only real competition for domination of planet remains the viruses." In what respect might you make a similar argument about insects.
How various ATP equivalents are required to synthesize de novo one molecule of IMP, starting from ribose-5-phosphate? Presume that all required precursors in the pathway are present.
Application of an insecticide to control mosquito populations in malaria infested areas quickly resulted in a dominant mutation, R, resulting in insecticide resistance.
