<p><big> Maintaining latency </big></p>
<p>Both proviral and episomal latency may require maintenance for continued infection and fidelity of viral genes.  Latency is generally maintained by viral genes expressed primarily during latency.  Expression of these latency-associated genes may function to keep the viral genome from being digested by cellular <a href="page.php?w=ribozymes">ribozymes</a> or being found out by the <a href="page.php?w=immune_system">immune system</a>.
