Abstract excerpt
One essential prerequisite for genotypic drug susceptibility testing of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the phenotypic characterization of mutations identified in the viral protein kinase gene UL97 and the viral DNA polymerase gene UL54 regarding their quantitative impact on drug susceptibility. We developed a new method for phenotypic characterization of UL54 mutations with regard to polymerase activity, viral...
