Multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 system impairs HCMV replication by excising an essential viral gene.

Multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 system impairs HCMV replication by excising an essential viral gene.

Anti-HCMV treatments used in immunosuppressed patients reduce viral replication, but resistant viral strains can emerge. Moreover, these drugs do not target latently infected cells. We designed two anti-viral CRISPR/Cas9 strategies to target the UL122/123 gene, a key regulator of lytic replication a...
