Abstract excerpt
Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) interferes with the MHC class I pathway of antigen presentation. The type I transmembrane glycoprotein gp40, encoded by the gene m152, retains major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I complexes in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC)/cis-Golgi. These MHC class I complexes are stable, show an extended half-life and do not exchange...
