Allogeneic Transplantation Induces Expression of Cytomegalovirus Immediate-Early Genes In Vivo: a Model for Reactivation from Latency
15 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) from latency is a frequent complication of organ transplantation, and the molecular mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. Previous studies have shown that allogeneic stimulation induces reactivation of human CMV (HCMV) in vitro (64). We find that transplantation of vascularized allogeneic kidneys induces murine CMV (MCMV) and HCMV immediate-early (ie) gene expression....
