title: [Latent virus infections of cells in the immune system].
abstract: The article concerns the latent infections of cells of immune system caused by herpesviruses and retroviruses. Molecular basis of latency maintained by Epstein-Barr virus in B lymphocytes as well as by human immunodeficiency virus in TCD4 lymphocytes is described. The switch between latency and replication of the viruses and immune surveillance is discussed.
