Human Cytomegalovirus with IE-2 (UL122) Deleted Fails To Express Early Lytic Genes
15 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Much evidence suggests that the major immediate-early (IE) transactivator of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), IE-2, is likely to be critical for efficient viral replication; however, the lack of an IE-2 mutant HCMV has precluded an experimental test of this hypothesis. As an initial step toward characterizing an IE-2 mutant, we first cloned the HCMV Towne genome as a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and...
