Campo – Virus Escape from Immunosurveillance

Viruses must be able to overcome the host immune response to replicate themselves and produce infectious progeny. Although eventually the host immune response succeeds in eliminating viruses and virus-infected cells, viruses have evolved a variety of mechanisms to escape immuno surveillance and survive in a hostile environment. In addition to rapid antigenic variation (HIV), latent infection (herpesvirus) or modality of life cycle (papillomaviruses), these mechanisms include the production of vi
