Structural proteins of human cytomegalovirus.
نویسنده
چکیده
At the Community Blood Center our interests have not only been in studying the epidemiology of cytomegalovirus transfusion-associated infection, but we have also involved ourselves in the biochemical characterization of CMV proteins. I will present some of our laboratory's preliminary findings. We worked with extracellular virus isolated in essentially the same manner as Huang et al. (1) except that 20 to 60% sucrose gradients were used. Tissue culture fluid concentrated by Amicon ultrafiltration and run in 20 to 60% sucrose gradients resolved three bands designated top, middle, and bottom. These three bands have densities of 1.175, 1.190, and 1.246 g/cm3, respectively.

Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV), one of the most common opportunistic pathogens in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), can cause the diseases such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and chorioretinitis. This study aimed at molecular studying of CMV infection in individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Material and Methods: In this study, 50 ven...

The intranuclear assembly of herpesvirus subviral particles remains an incompletely understood process. Previous studies have described the nuclear localization of capsid and tegument proteins as well as intranuclear tegumentation of capsid-like particles. The temporally and spatially regulated replication of viral DNA suggests that assembly may also be regulated by compartmentalization of stru...
متن کاملHuman Cytomegalovirus: Infections and Diagnosis
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous virus whose sole host is humans. Since HCMV can contagion from person to person through numerous ways, vast populations of humans are infected. HCMV infections can potentially have a range from asymptomatic infection in immuno-competent hosts to life-threatening diseases in organ recipients and patients with AIDS. The present article reviews the occu...

Despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. Recently, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? In this experiment seventeen samples of RAZI/A mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered fr...

The murine of human cytomegalovirus infection was employed to analyse the kinetics of antibody production to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) structural and immediate early (IE) polypeptides following MCMV infection of genetically resistant and susceptible strains of mice. A total of 22 structural and six non-structural. IE proteins were identified. Analysis of immunoblots by densitometry identifi...
