Challenging the Conventional Interpretation of HCMV Seronegativity [PDF]
The majority of adults in the world (around 83%) carry antibodies reactive with HCMV and are thought to retain inactive or latent infections lifelong. The virus is transmitted via saliva so infection events are likely to be common. Indeed it is hard to imagine a life without exposure to HCMV.

Features of memory-like and PD-1+ human NK cell subsets
Human NK cells are distinguished into CD56brightCD16- cells and CD56dimCD16+ cells. These two subsets are conventionally associated with differential functional outcomes and are heterogeneous with respect to the expression of KIR and CD94/NKG2 ...

CD1d expression and invariant NKT cell responses in herpesvirus infections
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a highly conserved subset of unconventional T lymphocytes that express a canonical, semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and surface markers shared with the natural killer cell lineage.
