Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) displays genetic polymorphisms. HCMV infects a number of organs and cell types, leading to the hypothesis that HCMV disease and tissue tropism may be related to specific sequence variability. A gene in UL/b' of HCMV, UL132 open reading frame (ORF), encodes glycoprotein (gpUL132) which is identified as a low-abundance structural component of HCMV. In this study, the sequence...
