Presumably because of the selective pressure exerted by the immune system, many viruses
have evolved proteins that interfere with antigen presentation by major histocompatibility …

The cell surface display of peptides by MHC class I molecules to lymphocytes provides the
host with an important surveillance mechanism to protect against invading pathogens …

Major mechanisms for the recognition of pathogens by immune cells have evolved to
employ classical and non-classical major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) …

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the major infectious cause of birth defects as well
as an important opportunistic pathogen. Individuals infected with CMV mount a strong …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has evolved sophisticated immune evasion mechanisms
that target both the innate and adaptive immune responses. However, how HCMV encoded …

The cellular entry of Hantaan virus (HTN) occurs through interactions with β3 integrins as
cellular receptors. However, the process of HTN infection following attachment to the cell …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is ubiquitously prevalent. HCMV infection is typically
asymptomatic and controlled by the immune system in healthy individuals, yet HCMV can be …

No one likes to feel like they have been manipulated, but in the case of cytomegalovirus
(CMV) immune manipulation, we do not really have much choice. Whether you call it CMV …

Herpesviruses have evolved several effective strategies to counter the host immune
response. Chief among these is inhibition of the host MHC class I antigen processing and …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important pathogen for both clinical and population settings.
There is a growing body of research implicating CMV in multiple health outcomes across the …
