NF-κB-Mediated Activation of the Chemokine CCL22 by the Product of the Human Cytomegalovirus Gene UL144 Escapes Regulation by Viral IE86
21 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
The product of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene UL144, expressed at early times postinfection, is located in the UL/b' region of the viral genome and is related to members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, but it does not bind tumor necrosis factor superfamily ligands. However, UL144 does activate NF-kappaB, resulting in NF-kappaB-mediated activation of the cellular chemokine CCL22....
