Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus utilizes cellular signal transduction pathways to activate viral or cellular transcription factors involved in the control of viral gene expression and DNA replication. In the present study, we demonstrate that Harvey-ras-transformed cells show increased permissiveness to human cytomegalovirus when compared to their parental non-transformed cells. Both the progeny viral yield and the protein...
