Initial characterization of four cytomegalovirus strains isolated from chimpanzees. Brief report
Abstract
Cytomegalovirus was isolated from chimpanzees. The chimpanzee CMV showed a strong antigenic relationship with human CMV. The genome of the chimpanzee CMV was found to have a molecular weight of 147 +/- 11.3 X 10(6) and showed partial homology to human CMV DNA.
