Abstract

The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL13 gene is located in the unique long (UL) region of its genome. The transcript structure of UL13 gene has not been investigated to date. By using cDNA library screening, northern blot, and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), the HCMV UL13 gene was demonstrated to be transcribed from the immediate early (IE) to the late (L) phase of infection, and at least one 1602-nt unspliced transcript was identified in the present study from three clinical isolates.

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
