Abstract excerpt
Clinical isolates of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) show differences in tissue tropism, severity of clinical manifestations and ability to establish persistent or latent infections, characteristics that are thought to be related to genomic variation among strains. This work analysed the genomic variants of a new HCMV polymorphic locus, open reading frame (ORF) UL73. This ORF encodes the envelope glycoprotein gpUL73...
