Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) belongs to the genus of the betaherpesvirus subfamily, causing exanthema subitum and encephalitis. Although viral ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is conserved in betaherpesviruses, it has lost its enzymatic activity. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) belongs to the other betaherpesvirus genus, ; its RNR inhibits nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling via interaction with the adaptor molecule RIPK1.

Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection reorganizes early endosomes (EE), recycling endosome (RE), and trans-Golgi network (TGN) and expands their intermediates into a large perinuclear structure that forms the inner part of the cytoplasmic assembly complex (AC). The reorganization begins and results with the basic configuration (known as pre-AC) in the early (E) phase of infection, but the sequence of developmental steps is not yet well understood. One of the first signs of the establishment of the inner pre-AC, which can be observed by immunofluorescence, is the accumulation of Rab10.

Cytomegalovirus infections and reactivations are more frequent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and have been associated with increased risk of HIV progression and immunosenescence. We explored the impact of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) on latent CMV infection in 225 young adults parenterally infected with HIV during childhood. Anti-CMV IgG antibodies were present in 93.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous virus that infects most of the human population and causes significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among immunocompromised individuals. Understanding CMV's genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics is crucial for elucidating its pathogenesis and developing effective therapeutic interventions. This review provides a comprehensive examination of CMV's genetic diversity and evolution, focussing on the role of different genotypes in viral pathogenesis.

Problem: Natural killer (NK) cells undergo education for full functionality via interactions between killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) or NKG2A and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) ligands. Presumably, education is important during early pregnancy as insufficient education has been associated with impaired vascular remodeling and restricted fetal growth in mice. NK cell education is influenced by receptor co-expression patterns, human cytomegalovirus (CMV), the HLA-E107 dimorphism, and HLA-B leader peptide variants.
