Observations made on children with genetic deficiencies of their immune system reveal that those lacking the capacity to make antibodies nevertheless handle most viral infections as well as normal individuals do. Such a-or hypogammaglobulinemic children are often susceptible to bacterial infections. Conversely, children with genetic deficiencies in their ability to mount cell-mediated immune responses or those who acquire diseases of lymphoid tissues later in life are often susceptible to a range of viral infections (reviewed in GOOD 1991; RICHES 1992).The immune system consists of humoral (antibody) and cellular (lymphocyte, monocyte, macrophage) responses that most often function synergistically to offer the host protection from invading microbes. Immunization, primarily developed and used most successfully against agents causing acute infection in humans and domestic animals, has been focused toward raising and enhancing antibody responses to glycoprotein or structural protein antigens present on surface virions, although cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) also play major roles in the control of acute infection. Protection from persistent infection is more complex. The viruses are cell associated and often viral surface glycoprotein expression is downregulated (BUCHMEIER and WELSH 1979; OLDSTONE and BUCHMEIER 1982; liPKIN et al. 1989). In this scenario, to act against virus infected cells, antibodies are not efficient for lysing infected cells. Several million antibody molecules are needed, along with effector molecules of the complement system, to destroy virally infected cells-an ineffective system (SISSONS et al. 1979, 1980). To better handle persistent infection, the organism's preference is towards the other effector arm of the immune response, consisting of lymphocytes, which detect very low levels of viral antigen on surfaces of infected cells. These lymphocytes are cytotoxic for virally infected cells. Indeed, T cells and CTL by inference are believed to require no more than 100 viral protein (peptide) molecules (DEMOTZ et al. 1990) for activation. CTL can recognize viral sequences expressed on cells that antiviral antibodies are unable to detect. CTL are effective against nonglycosylated immediate-early or early proteins of a virus that are transcribed many hours before structural viral
