Cartoon illustrating the latent cell activation model. In this model, a small number of latently infected cells (1%) are assumed to be antigen specific and can be activated into productive infection on exposure to antigen. In addition, infection of target cells results in the generation of productively infected cells and a small number of latently infected cells.
