The susceptibility of primary cultured rhesus macaque kidney epithelial cells to rhesus cytomegalovirus strains
14 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
Kidney epithelial cells are common targets for human and rhesus cytomegalovirus (HCMV and RhCMV) in vivo, and represent an important reservoir for long-term CMV shedding in urine. To better understand the role of kidney epithelial cells in primate CMV natural history, primary cultures of rhesus macaque kidney epithelial cells (MKE) were established and tested for infectivity by five RhCMV strains, including two...
