The pentameric complex is not required for vertical transmission of cytomegalovirus in seronegative pregnant rhesus macaques
2023-06-16
Abstract excerpt
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is the leading infectious cause of neonatal neurological impairment but essential virological determinants of transplacental CMV transmission remain unclear. The pentameric complex (PC), composed of five subunits, glycoproteins H (gH), gL, UL128, UL130, and UL131A, is essential for efficient entry into non-fibroblast cells in vitro . Based on this role in cell tropism,...
