Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains can be classified into four glycoprotein B (gB) genotypes, and there has been evidence of differences in viral virulence. In this study, intragenic variability of HCMV gB strains was analyzed. The gB gene was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction using...
