Abstract
Persistent viruses have mechanisms for modulating the host immune responses that are essential for achieving a lifelong virus-host balance while minimizing the viral pathogenicity. Here we review some of the immune-modulating mechanisms evolved by the ubiquitous but potentially oncogenic Epstein-Barr virus, with particular emphasis on the molecular mechanisms of genes interfering with HLA class I antigen presentation.
