Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous pathogen that latently resides in hematopoietic cells. Latently infected individuals with dysfunctional immune systems often experience CMV reactivation, which can cause devastating disease and mortality. While factors dictating the balance between latency and reactivation are not completely understood, CMV US28 is required for maintaining latent infection, and viral mutants that alter US28 function result in a lytic-like, rather than latent, infection in hematopoietic cells. In turn, viral lytic factors alter the host cell, making it challenging to characterize the US28-specific changes in the cellular milieu. To circumvent this, we generated a temperature-sensitive TB40/E recombinant virus, TB40/EgfpC510G (tsC510G), into which we engineered an amino acid change at position 510 (C510G) of IE2, as previously described in the CMV Towne strain. Using tsC510G, we then deleted the US28 ORF, termed tsC510G-US28Delta. Consistent with previous findings, tsC510G-US28Delta fails to undergo latency in Kasumi-3 cells at the permissive temperature. However, parallel cultures maintained at the non-permissive temperature showed a significant reduction in infectious center frequency, as measured by limiting dilution assay. Thus, we generated a new US28 mutant virus for use as a tool to study US28-specific changes in latently infected hematopoietic cells in the absence of induced lytic replication.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
