Abstract excerpt
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is associated with a high mortality in recipients of an allogeneic stem cell transplant. Apparent differences in biological behaviour have been noted among clinical CMV isolates. By amplifying specific functionally relevant regions of the CMV genome [immediate early...
