Fig. 7C: Suppression of the Synthesis
of MHC-I Molecules
Numerous viruses, such as the cytomegalovirus
(CMV) and adenoviruses can block the formation of MHC-I molecules by the infected
cell. As a result, no viral peptide is displayed on the infected cell and the
CTLs are no longer able to recognize that the cell is infected and kill it.
