The lysis of viral infected cells by activated innate effector cells and cross-reactive allo-specific memory CTL releases "danger signals" [18] and heat shock proteins (HSP) [19] which chaperone viral antigens (e.g., GRP78, HSP70) [20, 21] into the microenvironment, creating the conditions for "in situ vaccination", which leads to development of viral-specific cellular immunity. Modulating the immune system of elderly individuals through alloantigen priming to provide high titers of non-exhausted Th1/ CTL memory cells that can be non-specifically activated upon encounter with any virus to cause release type 1 cytokines may provide an immediate anti-viral immune response upon viral exposure and could also reinstate responsiveness to viral vaccines [85] . ./cache/cord-258685-ayek8zbo.txt ./txt/cord-258685-ayek8zbo.txt
