Other viruses, that are partly adapted to their host, may induce chronic infections where persistent replication and viral antigen expression occur. The former induce highly functional and resilient CD8T cell responses called memory inflation. The latter induce dysfunctional and exhausted responses. The reasons compelling T cell responses towards inflationary or exhausted responses are only partly understood. In this review we compare the two conditions and describe mechanistic similarities and differences. We also provide a list of potential reasons why exhaustion or inflation occur in different virus infections. We propose that T cell-mediated transcriptional repression of viral gene expression provides a critical feature of inflation that allows peaceful virus and host coexistence. The virus is controlled, but its genome is not eradicated. If this mechanism is not available, as in the case of RNA viruses, the virus and the host are compelled to an arms race. If virus proliferation and spread proceed uncontrolled for too long, T cells are forced to strike a balance between viral control and tissue destruction, losing antiviral potency and facilitating virus persistence.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.5553480614894135,"endowment":3.5553480614894135,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"29249600","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2775733839","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"DFG","grant_id":"SFB900 TP B2","title":null},{"funder_name":"Dutch Cancer Society","grant_id":"KWF UL2015-7817","title":null},{"funder_name":"European Research Council","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":2.2913,"citation_percentile":0.88908577,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2018,"count":2},{"year":2019,"count":4},{"year":2020,"count":8},{"year":2021,"count":2},{"year":2022,"count":4},{"year":2023,"count":4},{"year":2024,"count":6},{"year":2025,"count":2},{"year":2026,"count":2}],"oa_status":"green","license":"cc-by-nc-sa","oa_locations":[{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/1887/86736","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/1887/86736","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0966842X17302615?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0966842X17302615?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tim.2017.11.012","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29249600","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/10033/622251","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://hdl.handle.net/1887/86736","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Cytomegalovirus and herpesvirus research","Immune Cell Function and Interaction","Herpesvirus Infections and Treatments"],"mesh_terms":["Animals","Antigens, Viral","Chronic Disease","Humans","Immunologic Memory","RNA Viruses","Virus Diseases","Viruses","Gene Expression Regulation, Viral","Cytokines","Genome, Viral","CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes","Mice"],"keywords":["Biology","Viral replication","Virus","Virology","Chronic infection","Immune system","Viral pathogenesis","RNA virus","Viral evolution","Mechanism (biology)","Viral entry","Coinfection","Gene","Immunology","Genetics","RNA","Viral Persistence","Viral Latency","Memory Inflation","Immune Exhaustion","Cd8t Cell","Chronic Virus Infection"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-27T13:17:18.079527Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
