“…In HCMV, clinical strains contain a UL/b¢ region (UL128-UL150) that encodes multiple ORFs involved in cell-type dependent replication, intra-host dissemination, latency and immune evasion (Bradley et al, 2009;Cheung et al, 2005;Goodrum et al, 2007;Hahn et al, 2004;Penfold et al, 1999;Prod'homme et al, 2010;Ryckman et al, 2006Ryckman et al, , 2008Sinzger et al, 2008;Stanton et al, 2010;Tomasec et al, 2005;Umashankar et al, 2011). As viral determinants for HCMV entry of EP, UL128L-encoded proteins, form a pentamer with gH and gL mediating HCMV entry into EP via an endocytotic pathway (Bodaghi et al, 1999;Ryckman et al, 2008;Wang & Shenk, 2005;Wang et al, 2007).…”
