Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clinical isolates of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) display polymorphisms in multiple genes. Some authors have suggested that polymorphisms are implicated in HCMV-induced immunopathogenesis, as well as in strain-specific behaviors, such as tissue-tropism and the ability to establish persistent or latent infections. OBJECTIVE: To describe the features of HCMV UL148A, UL148B, UL148C and UL148D open...
