Human cytomegalovirus UL2 is not required for lytic replication or viral latency and reactivation

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in transplant patients and is a major cause of congenital disease. Understanding the role of viral genes during infection, viral replication, and viral latency establishment and reactivation is key to the development of new antivirals, which are currently limited. The viral RL11 is a conserved, but understudied viral locus, with pr...
