Balancing Host Defense and Viral Tolerance for the Development of Next-Generation Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agents.
The human immune system has evolved to cope with various virus infections using two major strategies: host defense and viral tolerance. The host defense relies on the innate and adaptive immune responses to control virus replication, while the viral tolerance allows sufficient virus replication in the host with minimal or no clinical signs. Generally, a balanced host defense and viral tolerance can guarantee health from infections, while disturbed immune homeostasis usually results in diseases. It is desirable to develop drugs/therapeutics to enhance the invulnerability of host immune equilibrium to combat viral infections. In this review, we summarize the advanced understanding on mechanisms of both the host defense against and tolerance to virus infections, and therapeutic agents/approaches that work by modulating the balance between host defense and tolerance.
期刊介绍:
Pathogens (ISSN 2076-0817) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on all aspects of pathogens and pathogen-host interactions. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided for research articles.
