The Tegument Protein UL71 of Human Cytomegalovirus Is Involved in Late Envelopment and Affects Multivesicular Bodies
3 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Morphogenesis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is still only partially understood. We have characterized the role of HCMV tegument protein pUL71 in viral replication and morphogenesis. By using a rabbit antibody raised against the C terminus of pUL71, we could detect the protein in infected cells, as well as in virions showing a molecular mass of approximately 48 kDa. The expression of pUL71, detected as early as...
