Roles of neural stem progenitor cells in cytomegalovirus infection of the brain in mouse models

Abstract excerpt

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most significant infectious cause of brain disorders in humans. Although the brain is the principal target organ for CMV infection in infants with congenital infection and in immunocompromised patients, little has been known about cellular events in pathogenesis of the brain disorders. Mouse models have been developed by the authors for studying the cell tropism, infectious dynamics...
