Abstract

The immune response to viral infections is a combination of many events: viral antigen presentation to the immune system, proliferation of specific lymphocytes, cytokine intervention. This review describes the virus-cell relationship contributing to the latency state in viral infections (especially in AIDS) and cytokine network, its importance in the pathogenesis of viral diseases and its therapeutic potential.
