HCMV gH/gL/UL128–131 interferes with virus entry into epithelial cells: Evidence for cell type-specific receptors

3 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms two different membrane protein complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131, that function in different cell types. gH/gL/gO appears to be important for HCMV entry into or spread between fibroblasts, processes that occur at neutral pH. We demonstrated that HCMV entry into epithelial and endothelial cells requires gH/gL/UL128-131 and involves endocytosis and low pH. A complex...
