Abstract excerpt
The UL74 (glycoprotein O [gO])-UL75 (gH)-UL115 (gL) complex of human cytomegalovirus (CMV), known as the gCIII complex, is likely to play an important role in the life cycle of the virus. The gH and gL proteins have been associated with biological activities, such as the induction of virus-neutralizing antibody, cell-virus fusion, and cell-to-cell spread of the virus. The sequences of the two gH gene variants,...
