Cytomegalovirus Glycoprotein B (CMV gB)

GENENAME

CMV gB

TARGTYPE

Clinical trial target

SYNONYMS

gB; Envelope glycoprotein B

FUNCTION

Viral ligand for CD209/DC-SIGN. This interaction allows capture of viral particles by dendritic (DCs) cells and subsequent virus transmission to permissive cells. DCs are professional antigen presenting cells, critical for host immunity by inducing specific immune responses against a broad variety of pathogens. They act as sentinels in various tissues where they entrap pathogens and convey them to local lymphoid tissue or lymph node for establishment of immunity. CMV subverts the migration properties of dendritic cells to gain access to target organs or susceptible cells.
