Human Cytomegalovirus UL144 Open Reading Frame: Sequence Hypervariability in Low-Passage Clinical Isolates
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects a number of organs and cell types in vivo, leading to the hypothesis that HCMV disease and tissue tropism may be related to specific sequence variants. A potential component of HCMV variant strains is the UL144 open reading frame (ORF), which encodes a homologue of the herpesvirus entry mediator, HveA, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. Sequence...
