Abstract
Viral propagation is limited both by the host immune response and by apoptosis of infected cells. Viruses circumvent apoptosis by different mechanisms: direct inhibition of particular proteases involved in cell death, stimulation of anti-death pathways or regulation of the activity of transcription factors monitoring cell survival.
