Human cytomegalovirus and the neutrophil

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a highly prevalent opportunistic infection and a major pathogen in immune-compromised patients. The virus exhibits a wide cell tropism and is able to lytically infect virtually any cell type, with detectable gene expression and release of new virions, but not the neutrophil. This cell is the first immune cell to engage most pathogens, engulfing and killing them before undergoing apo...
