Targeting the latent cytomegalovirus reservoir with an antiviral fusion toxin protein
Reactivation of human cytomegalovirus in immunosuppressed transplant patients can cause severe complications. Here, Krishnaet al. show that a fusion toxin protein that specifically binds the viral surface protein US28 can be used to kill latently infected monocytes and their progenitor cells in vitr...

| Sumario: | Reactivation of human cytomegalovirus in immunosuppressed transplant patients can cause severe complications. Here, Krishnaet al. show that a fusion toxin protein that specifically binds the viral surface protein US28 can be used to kill latently infected monocytes and their progenitor cells in vitro. |
