Depressed specific cell-mediated immunity to Herpes simplex virus type 1 in patients with recurrent herpes labialis.

abstract：:We demonstrate that transcription of the Staphylococcus aureus collagen adhesin gene (cna) is temporally regulated, with expression being highest in exponentially growing cultures and falling to almost undetectable levels as cultures enter the post-exponential-growth phase. The temporal regulation of cna transcription...
