OR14I1 is a receptor for the human cytomegalovirus pentameric complex and defines viral epithelial cell tropism
20 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
A human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) pentameric glycoprotein complex (PC), gH-gL-UL128-UL130-UL131A, is necessary for viral infection of clinically relevant cell types, including epithelial cells, which are important for interhost transmission and disease. We performed genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens of different cell types in parallel to identify host genes specifically required for HCMV infection of epithelial cells....
