Abstract excerpt
The phosphoprotein 65 (pp65, pUL83) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) serves several functions during the viral life cycle. It is one of the most abundant constituents of the virion tegument and the major component of subviral particles termed Dense Bodies. It is also one of several tegument proteins that mediate the subversion of cellular antiviral defence functions like the induction of IFNs. It is also involved...
