Murine cytomegalovirus m119-118 encodes a new viral Fc receptor antagonizing host Fc receptor activation

This study identifies a second murine CMV vFcR, fcr-2, encoded by m119-118, which cooperates with fcr-1 to inhibit host Fc receptor activation and enhance viral pathogenesis.

Limited protection against early-life cytomegalovirus infection results from deficiency of cytotoxic CD8T cells

This study shows that deficiency of cytotoxic CD8 T cells in early life leads to limited protection against cytomegalovirus infection.

Molecular cloning and host range analysis of three cytomegaloviruses from Mastomys natalensis

The paper clones and analyzes three cytomegaloviruses from Mastomys natalensis, showing their narrow host range and identifying a site for vaccine antigen insertion.

E2F3-dependent activation of FAM111B restricts mouse cytomegalovirus replication in primate cells

This study identifies FAM111B as a host restriction factor that suppresses mouse cytomegalovirus replication in human and rhesus macaque cells through E2F3-dependent activation.
