Abstract excerpt
A ganciclovir (GCV)-resistant human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was isolated from an AIDS patient. Molecular analysis of the HCMV UL97 gene revealed two point mutations, A594P and D605E, respectively. In order to evaluate quantitatively the impact of the individual mutations on GCV phosphorylation, recombinant vaccinia viruses (rVVs) were generated carrying either the two mutations (rVV-594/605) or only one mutation...
