Suppression of CD8+ T-cell recognition in the immediate-early phase of human cytomegalovirus infection
25 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) interferes with MHC class I-restricted antigen presentation and thereby reduces recognition by CD8(+) T-cells. This interference is mediated primarily by endoplasmic reticulum-resident glycoproteins that are encoded in the US2-11 region of the viral genome. Such a suppression of recognition would be of particular importance immediately after infection, because several immunodominant...
