Abstract excerpt
Single strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) of PCR-amplified DNA and subsequent DNA sequencing of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein B (gB) gene were applied to identify known HCMV strains and to detect new virus variants. 61 HCMV PCR positive patients were studied out of a cohort of 410 patients after liver transplantation (LTX). SSCP was able to distinguish between strains Davis, AD169, and...
