Human cytomegalovirus IE1 and IE2 proteins block apoptosis
1 Dec 1995
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus-infected fibroblasts are resistant to the induction of apoptosis by superinfection with a mutant adenovirus unable to produce the viral E1B 19-kDa protein that normally causes an E1A protein-mediated apoptotic response. Two cytomegalovirus gene products that block apoptosis were identified. The IE1 and IE2 proteins each inhibit the induction of apoptosis by tumor necrosis factor alpha or by...
