Human Cytomegalovirus US28 Is Important for Latent Infection of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) resides latently in hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). During latency, only a subset of HCMV genes is transcribed, including one of the four virus-encoded G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), US28. Although US28 is a multifunctional lytic protein, its function during latency has remained undefined. We generated a panel of US28 recombinant viruses in the bacterial...
