Human cytomegalovirus proteins encoded by UL37 exon 1 protect infected fibroblasts against virus-induced apoptosis and are required for efficient virus replication
20 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strain AD169 mutants carrying transposon insertions or large deletions in UL37 exon 1 (UL37x1) were recovered from modified bacterial artificial chromosomes by reconstitution in human fibroblasts expressing the adenovirus anti-apoptotic protein E1B19K. UL37x1 mutant growth was severely compromised in normal fibroblasts, with minimal release of infectious progeny. Growth in...
