Human cytomegalovirus tegument proteins (pp65, pp71, pp150, pp28) [PDF]
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of the Betaherpesvirinae sub-family of Herpesviridae family, is a widespread pathogen that infects a majority of the world's population by early adulthood.

Prepandemic levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins and risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 in the general population of Barcelona [PDF]
BackgroundFrom a public health perspective it is remarkable that there are yet no longitudinal studies in the general population investigating the influence of the basal immune state, measured before the pandemic, on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and ...

Highly quantitative serological detection of anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies [PDF]
Background Human cytomegalovirus infection is associated with a variety of pathological conditions including retinitis, pneumonia, hepatitis and encephalitis that may be transmitted congenitally, horizontally and parenterally and occurs both as a primary

Following amplification by PCR of a portion of the matrix phosphoprotein pp150 gene, electrophoretic analysis revealed the simultaneous presence of two viral variants of human cytomegalovirus in the blood of a heart transplant recipient. Repeated denaturation-annealing cycles during the amplification reaction led to the formation of heteroduplex ...

Human cytomegalovirus tegument protein pp150 acts as a cyclin A2–CDK-dependent sensor of the host cell cycle and differentiation state [PDF]
Significance Depending on the host cell type and differentiation status, herpesviruses establish different modes of infection to either maintain or replicate their genomes. How viruses discriminate between individual host cell environments upon infection is poorly understood.

Predictive value of gB2 antibodies for maternal-fetal transmission after primary cytomegalovirus infection treated with valacyclovir. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To estimate the residual risk of maternal–fetal transmission after primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in the periconceptional period or the first trimester in women treated with valacyclovir, and to assess whether the presence of glycoprotein B2 (gB2)‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig)‐G antibodies on immunoblot analysis refines fetal
