3 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) infection is usually asymptomatic but may cause disease in immunocompromised hosts. It has been reported that hCMV infection may shape the NK cell receptor (NKR) repertoire in adult individuals, promoting a variable expansion of the CD94/NKG2C+ NK cell subset.
