Intracellular signalling involves several kinases depending on 132 Immune response in human pathology: infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites Genotypical characteristics: chromosomal DNA fragment analysis, nucleic acid sequence analysis, probes Phenotypical characteristics: morphology, biotyping, serotyping, antibiotic resistance Analytical characteristics: cell-wall analysis, lipid and protein analysis, enzyme typing (catalase) Gram staining positive or negative Aerobic, anaerobic: Fermentation of different sugars Naming and classification of viruses according to: Structure: size, morphology (naked, enveloped), nucleic acid (RNA, DNA) Molecular aspects: mode of replication, assembly and budding Disease: encephalitis, hepatitis Means of transmission: droplets, water, blood, insects Host range: animal, plant, bacteria Classification of fungi according to: Structure: macroscopic morphology of hyphae (mycelium); microscopic morphology of hyphae, conidophores and conidia (spores); and shape and size Cell features: nucleus, cytosol, plasmalemma (cell membrane which contains cholesterol), physiology, staining properties Sexual characteristics: sexual and /or asexual reproduction, extended dikaryotic phase, basidium formation Genotypical characteristics: chromosomal DNA fragment analysis, nucleic acid sequence analysis, probes ./cache/cord-023925-qrr7jcwe.txt ./txt/cord-023925-qrr7jcwe.txt
