Reevaluation of the Coding Potential and Proteomic Analysis of the BAC-Derived Rhesus Cytomegalovirus Strain 68-1
21 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Cytomegaloviruses are highly host restricted, resulting in cospeciation with their hosts. As a natural pathogen of rhesus macaques (RM), rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) has therefore emerged as a highly relevant experimental model for pathogenesis and vaccine development due to its close evolutionary relationship to human CMV (HCMV). Most in vivo experiments performed with RhCMV employed strain 68-1 cloned as a...
