Modulation of chemokines by poxvirus infections

Abstract

Viruses that successfully replicate within the host have devised strategies to subvert or evade the challenges posed by the innate and adaptive immune responses. Many investigators are now beginning to dissect the diverse and complex interactions involving chemokines, chemokine receptors and viral infection. In recent years, much attention has been focused on the role of chemokines in antiviral defense. Show more
