Abstract excerpt
Co-evolution of herpesviruses with their hosts has resulted in multiple interactions between viral genes and cellular functions. Some interactions control genomic maintenance and replication in specific tissues, other affect the immune control at various stages. Few immunomodulatory functions of genes can be predicted by sequence homology. The majority of genes with immunomodulatory properties only become...
