Latent viruses, the microcompetition model, and disease. a Immunodeficiency occurs due to stress, aging, disease, etc. b More copies of the latent virus are present in the system c Due to the increase in the copies of latent viruses, more GABP•p300/CBP complexes bind the viral promoters. d As a result, fewer GABP•p300/CBP complexes are available to bind the promoter of the cellular gene. e A lower or higher expression of cellular genes. f Disease occurs
