Funded Activity Summary

Human cytomegalovirus has the ability to hide in the body of a person throughout their life time without it making them ill but the virus can awaken (reactivate) from this latent state and produce new virus. In immunosuppressed people such as transplant patients this reactivation causes significant problems, even death, yet this latency remains poorly understood. This project will help us to understand how the virus can hide successfully from the immune system in a latent form in the human host.
