Abstract excerpt
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene UL97 product was shown to play an important role in phosphorylation of ganciclovir (GCV) in HCMV-infected cells. The deletion of the 4 amino-acid sequence AACR confers resistance to a laboratory mutant. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid and simple...
