HLA-E restricted cytomegalovirus UL40 peptide polymorphism may represent a risk factor following congenital infection
20 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Congenital cytomegalovirus immunopathogenesis is largely unknown and multifactorial due to the complex interactions between viral, maternal, placental, and child factors. Polymorphisms in the HLA-E binding UL4015-23peptide mimics HLA-E complexed peptides from certain HLA-A, -B, -C and -G alleles, which regulate the cellular immune response driven by natural killer-cells (NK) and CD8 + T cells....
