Virus Protein

On the step of life virus produce protein, called a homolog, this protein binder to the cellular protein that normally trigger an inflammatory response. Homolog is the key of immune system weapon for fighting viral infection. If the homolog laks a key part of the cellular protein that triggers the inflammation process, inflammatory activation leads to the production of proinflammatory cytokines and eventual cell death.

Sometimes there will be a piece that almost fits into an available space, but because it's not an exact fit, leaving it there will keep you from completing the puzzle. The viral homolog gums up the works, preventing the formation of a large complex called the inflammasome, and keeping the cell's immune response from deploying.

A cell's response to a viral invader is to commit suicide. The cells die rather than spread the virus, which uses the cell by hijacking its genetic machinery to produce more virus. Kaposi sarcoma virus able to evade the body's immune system helps it lie dormant and persist in the body over a lifetime.
