Historical Discoveries on Viruses in the Environment and Their Impact on Public Health.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We studied the ability of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) pretreated with or without Th2-cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) in vitro. METHODS:Adherent cells and nonadherent cells were obtained from PBMC. We inoculated these cells with HCMV at concentrations ranging...
