Cellular kinases involved in cytomegalovirus infection and their inhibition

摘要

The role of certain cellular kinases active during Human Cytomegalovirus infection is disclosed. These cellular kinases are useful to detect HCMV infection, and can be used to screen for cellular kinase inhibitors. Cellular kinases inhibitors, which effectively downregulate these key cellular components, serve as effective therapeutics against HCMV infection.
