Analysis of Interstrain Variation in Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B Sequences Encoding Neutralization-Related Epitopes
Abstract
Nucleotide sequences of a part of the envelope glycoprotein B (gB) gene of human cytomegalovirus (CMV), encoding epitopes recognized by virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, were determined for 12 distinct clinical strains of CMV after amplification of suitable templates using the polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analysis of this region (codons 384-717) revealed that the clinical strains and previously sequenced laboratory strains Towne and AD169 belong to one of four variant groups, each with a characteristic nucleotide and peptide sequence. Peptide homology was greater than 99% for strains within a group, and varied from 91% to 98% for strains in different groups. Variation was most frequent between codons 448 and 480. The gB group of a CMV strain could be determined by restriction analysis of a small target sequence amplified from viral genomic DNA, and an additional 28 clinical strains were grouped in this manner. The existence of a limited number of variants of gB among clinical strains facilitates analysis of biologic function and cross-reactivity of immune responses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
