A Systemic Receptor Network Triggered by Human cytomegalovirus Entry [PDF]

Advances in Virology Volume 2011 (2011), Article ID 262080, 11 pages, 2010
Virus entry is a multistep process that triggers a variety of cellular pathways interconnecting into a complex network, yet the molecular complexity of this network remains largely unsolved. Here, by employing systems biology approach, we reveal a systemic virus-entry network initiated by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a widespread opportunistic ...
