... muscle cells (SMC). As proliferating SMC are particularly susceptible for the stimulating effects of cytomegalovirus (CMV), we hypothesized that CMV infection may enhance cell proliferation and graft failure. Furthermore, we evaluated the potential of FK778 to prevent intimal hyperplasia. Apart from its...

...Anamaris M. Colberg-Poley Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes multiple regulatory proteins at immediate early (IE) times of infection. Ancillary IE proteins are encoded by the UL36-38, UL115-119, TRS1/IRS1 and US3 loci. In contrast to the major IE nuclear proteins, several of the ancillary IE...

...A. Marcello; G. Pisoni; S. Pizzighella; G. Palù Virus-associated DNA polymerase activity has recently been proposed for the detection of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in urine, a method that should allow rapid and quantitative determination of the viral load. In this report, the virus-associated DNA...

To resolve the confusion and misunderstanding caused by the use of BHV-3, BHV-4 and BHV-5 for the same kind of BHVs, the most used label BHV-4 is proposed for designating Movar-type BHVs (which also were named Orphan viruses’ or ‘cytomegaloviruses’). Original Papers...
