The Murine Cytomegalovirus Chemokine Homolog, m131/129, Is a Determinant of Viral Pathogenicity
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Chemokines are important mediators of the early inflammatory response to infection and modify a wide range of host immune responses. Functional homologs of cellular chemokines have been identified in a number of herpesviruses, suggesting that the subversion of the host chemokine response contributes to the pathogenesis of these viruses. Transcriptional and reverse transcription-PCR analyses demonstrated that the...
