Abstract excerpt
Studies on the biology and function of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genes have been hampered by the limited number of viral mutants available for genetic analyses. We have developed a simple procedure to generate and enrich for HCMV recombinants. By inserting the bacterial neo gene, encoding neomycin/kanamycin phosphotransferase, into the large HCMV DNA genome using homologous recombination, selectable mutants of...
