Abstract excerpt
To study the genetic variation of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in Asian populations, the amino-terminal antigenic domains of glycoprotein B of HCMVs isolated from ethnic Chinese transplant patients were cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequences were compared with publi...
