Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains can be classified into different glycoprotein B (gB) genotypes. In a previous study, frequent intragenic variation of the gB gene was shown. The aim of this study was to analyse whether gB variation was due to homologous recombination. The gB gene of DNA extracts derived from the peripheral blood leukocytes of 14 immunosuppressed patients was amplified by PCR and cloned. Three...
