Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of an ancient family of viruses (Herpesviridae),
has acquired the capacity to maintain a lifelong persistent infection within an …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes and maintains a lifelong persistence following
infection in an immunocompetent host. The determinants of a stable virus-host relationship …

The application of modern biochemical techniques has led to a rapid improvement in our
knowledge of the molecular biology of CMV. Several coding regions of the DNA genome …

Publisher Summary Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is a very well studied virus of
laboratory mice. The discovery of the cytomegaloviruses had its origins in early studies of …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can establish lifelong persistence after primary infection
with reactivation occurring as a result of immunosuppression. There is much evidence that …

During the past several years, studies have indicated that cytomegalovirus (CMV) genes can
be grouped into two broad categories; those essential for replication in cell culture and those …

Monocytes are one site of carriage of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome in
healthy human carriers. However, as there are conflicting data detailing the level of HCMV …

A high frequency of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome and antigens in tumor
samples of patients with different malignancies is now well documented, although the …

Infection of susceptible populations by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a significant
public health problem in Western societies. Vaccination with live attenuated strains of HCMV …

To more clearly define the characteristics which render a cell permissive for human
cytomegalovirus (HCMV), we screened a panel of human cell lines differing in morphology …
