Specialization for cell-free or cell-to-cell spread of BAC-cloned HCMV strains is determined by factors beyond the UL128-131 and RL13 loci

2019-09-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> It is widely held that clinical isolates of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) are highly cell-associated, and mutations affecting the UL128-131 and RL13 loci that arise in culture lead to the appearance of a cell-free spread phenotype. The BAC-clone Merlin (ME), expresses abundant UL128-131, is RL13-impaired and produces low infectivity virions in fibroblasts, whereas TB40/e (TB) and TR are low in UL...
