Human Cytomegalovirus pUL78 G Protein-Coupled Receptor Homologue Is Required for Timely Cell Entry in Epithelial Cells but Not Fibroblasts
23 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes four putative G protein-coupled receptors, including pUL78, whose rodent orthologues are known to be important for replication and spread in their hosts. To investigate the mechanism by which pUL78 contributes to viral replication and pathogenesis, we generated a derivative of the TB40/E clinical isolate of HCMV that is unable to express the receptor. Consistent with previous...
