Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a ubiquitous human pathogen, is the leading cause of birth
defects and morbidity in immunocompromised patients and a potential trigger for vascular …

Virally encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been discovered in herpesviruses.
However, their biological roles are mostly unknown. We developed an algorithm for the …

Hematopoietic cells and their progenitors play important roles in human cytomegalovirus
latency and reactivation. Latent infection has been evaluated in defined populations of myeloid-…

Six strains of human cytomegalovirus have been sequenced, including two laboratory strains
(AD169 and Towne) that have been extensively passaged in fibroblasts and four clinical …

We have recently introduced a novel procedure for the construction of herpesvirus mutants
that is based on the cloning and mutagenesis of herpesvirus genomes as infectious bacterial …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strain TB40/E, replicates efficiently, exhibits a broad cell
tropism and is widely used for infection of endothelial cells and monocyte-derived cells yet has …

We have cloned the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genome as an infectious bacterial
artificial chromosome (BAC) in Escherichia coli. Here, we have subjected the HCMV BAC to …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) genetic determinants of endothelial-cell tropism and virus
transfer to leukocytes (both polymorphonuclear and monocyte) have been recently identified …

Objective. To document the persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi in ligamentous tissue samples
obtained from a woman with chronic Lyme borreliosis. Methods. Spirochetes were isolated …

Chilblain lupus erythematosus (CHLE) is a rare, chronic form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
Sporadic cases and two families with autosomal dominant-inherited CHLE have been …
