Analysis of polymorphism in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) chemokine, vCXCL-1, and its role in cellular activation
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) viral chemokine gene, UL146, shows a high degree of variability in clinical isolates. The UL146-produced viral chemokine, vCXCL-1, has homology to CXC chemokines and is predicted to be an immune modulator that may contribute to the pathogenesis of HCMV infections....
