Cloning and sequencing of a highly productive, endotheliotropic virus strain derived from human cytomegalovirus TB40/E
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strain TB40/E, replicates efficiently, exhibits a broad cell tropism and is widely used for infection of endothelial cells and monocyte-derived cells yet has not been available in a phenotypically homogeneous form compatible with genetic analysis. To overcome this problem, we cloned the TB40/E strain into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector. Both highly endotheliotropic and...
