Abstract excerpt
Genomic variation among human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) wild-type strains is a well-documented phenomenon probably implicated in HCMV-induced immunopathogenesis. Extensive genetic polymorphism has been detected for the envelope glycoprotein N (gN) and HCMV clinical isolates have been clustered into seven distinct gN variants (gN-1, gN-2, gN-3a, gN-3b, gN-4a, gN-4b, gN-4c). Several studies from different research...
