Abstract
A viral protein of approximately 82 kDa is the only structural protein of h uman cytomegalovirus (CMV) that is strongly immunogenic during natural infe ction and the corresponding gene of which is still unknown. In this work, s trong evidence is presented that this protein is the product of UL25.
