Abstract

Viruses are constantly under the peril of complement assault as they are efficiently recognized and neutralized by the complement system. In addition, the complement system is also known to enhance the virus specific Band T cell responses which play critical role in controlling viral infections. It is, therefore, important that viruses subvert and escape the complement-mediated attacks for their survival. In this chapter, we provide an overview of how the complement system help in controlling viruses and what elusive strategies viruses have developed to evade these defenses.
