Altered expression of host‐encoded complement regulators on human cytomegalovirus‐infected cells
1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected cells persist in the presence of anti-HCMV antibody, suggesting that HCMV has evolved mechanisms to evade host immune defenses. Insofar as no virus-encoded complement inhibitors have been identified for HCMV, we hypothesized that HCMV infection may alter the expression of host-encoded cell surface complement inhibitors. Herein, we report that cell surface expression of two...
