Abstract excerpt
We developed a new reporter cell line for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drug susceptibility testing. This cell line was obtained by incorporating the luciferase reporter gene under the control of an HCMV-specific promoter into the genome of astrocytoma cells (U373MG). We then used our reporter cell line to evaluate phenotypic changes conferred by the sequential emergence of HCMV UL54 and UL97 mutations following...
