Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-associated ocular diseases have gained increasing attention due to a recent rise in cases diagnosed in Asia. A glycoprotein encoded by the virus UL55 gene, glycoprotein B (gB), is essential for viral entry and a primary target for naturally-produced antibodies and vaccine development. gB is classified into five genotypes (gB1-gB5) based on polymorphisms surrounding the furin cleavage...
