摘要
Viruses encode immune evasion mechanisms to survive in the immunocompetent host. Chemokines mediate the migration of immune cells and their critical role in immunity is emphasized by the numerous virus-encoded strategies to modulate their activity. Evidence published in this issue of the European Journal of Immunology uncovers novel mechanisms encoded by vaccinia virus to inhibit the chemokine-mediated migration of DC, an important event in the initiation of the immune response to viral infections.
