| Abstract: | ![]()
The following excellent reviews have been published on poxviruses and apoptosis during the last few years: P.C. Turner and R.W. Moyer, Semin. Virology, 8: 453–469, 1998; J.L. Shisler and B. Moss, Semin. Immunol., 13: 67–72, 2001; and H. Everett and G. McFadden, Curr. Opin. Microbiol., 5: 395–402, 2002. These articles dealt with the viral products and the mechanisms by which they interfere with apoptosis. In this review, we summarize new and old information and also introduce a new approach to explore interactions between the host cell and the replicating virus. |
