title: Virus interception of cytokine-regulated pathways.
abstract: Cytokines regulate host antiviral, immune and antitumor responses. Viruses combat the host-imposed inhibitory pathways to survive and spread the infection. Some viruses have evolved molecules that override apoptotic programs to promote cell survival until virus assembly is complete, persistence is established or cellular transformation occurs.
