Tetraspanins in mammalian reproduction: spermatozoa, oocytes and embryos.

abstract：:Several lines of evidence suggest a viral infection as the initiating event for the development of myocarditis (MC). Especially enteroviruses like coxsackie B3 virus have been shown to induce MC in humans and strains of MC-prone mice after an infection. The further course of the disease is, however, determined not onl...
