Use of In vivo Imaging to Monitor the Progression of Experimental Mouse Cytomegalovirus Infection in Neonates
Published on: July 6, 2013
Abstract:
The effect of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) on human foetal cell chromosomes was investigated. Cultures of foetal skin fibroblasts were infected with human CMV (AD-169 strain) and their chromosomes analysed at intervals. The distribution of chromosomal abnormalities was independent of chromosome length.
