2025-04-16
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects various cell types in its human host, and this broad tropism plays a vital role in viral transmission, dissemination, and pathogenesis. HCMV strains differ in their ability to infect and replicate in different cell types, but the genetic determinants of cell tropism have only begun to be understood. A widely used HCMV strain, TB40/E, contains a mixture of genetically distinct v...
