Abstract

Immunization against pathogens induces humoral as well as cellular immune responses. While the former is directed toward extra-cellular invaders, the latter is directed toward proteins produced by pathogens following their infection of permissive cells. Like other intracellular proteins, viral products are enzymatically degraded into short peptides (9–11 amino acids in length) and presented on the surface of infected cells in association with Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules: a requirement for T cell recognition. Vaccines aimed at prevention of disease might be particularly effective because they can arm the host with powerful neutralizing antibodies against subsequent infections which results in a dramatic reduction in the load of pathogen reaching the target cell. After the pathogen is hidden in the host’s cells, the immune system relies predominantly on T cell function. Clearing of the infection will at this point depend on the balance between the efficiency of the T cell response and the protective strategies adopted by the pathogen [1].
