Abstract excerpt
Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) represent prototypic viruses of the beta-subgroup of herpesviruses. Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infects mice as its natural host. Among viruses, CMVs have evolved the most extensive genetic repertoire to subvert MHC class I functions. To date three MCMV proteins have been identified which affect MHC I complexes. They are encoded by members of large virus-specific gene families located...
