Introduction

HCMV pp130 (UL57) is a major single-stranded DNA binding protein.

Description

Cytomegalovirus is a member of the herpes viruses. These viruses share a characteristic ability to remain dormant within the body over a long period. CMV viral genes are coordinately expressed in groups at various times after infection. Early viral proteins are expressed in the nucleus of infected cells within 3 to 24 hours of infection prior to viral replication. This is followed by expression of the early intermediate genes, which encode enzymes required for viral DNA replication. After 48 to 72 hours, a number of late viral antigens may be detected in the nuclei and cytoplasm of infected cells.
