An antisense transcript in the human cytomegalovirus UL87 gene region.

abstract：BACKGROUND:It is becoming progressively more understandable that genetic variability of viruses is a major challenge in translating the laboratory findings to clinic. Genetic variability is the underlying cause of variant viral proteins which are not targetable by host immunological machinery. METHODS:500 patients wer...
