Virus Entry is a Major Determinant of HCMV Latency in Monocytes

Yaarit Kitsberg, Aharon Nachshon, Tamar Arazi…·Michal Schwartz

This study shows that reduced viral entry in monocytes leads to HCMV latency, while efficient entry enables productive infection, highlighting entry as a key determinant of latency.

Parsing the Functions of Immediate Early Proteins in HCMV Infection Outcome

Yaarit Kitsberg, Aharon Nachshon, Noam Stern‐Ginossar, Michal Schwartz

This study shows that overexpression of HCMV IE1 or IE2 enhances productive infection, with IE2 driving early gene expression and IE1 disrupting PML nuclear bodies to promote lytic infection.
