      abstract = {Cytomegaloviruses (CMV) are β-herpesviruses that  establish persistent, latent infection in their hosts.  Human CMV (HCMV) infection causes significant morbidity and  mortality in immunosuppressed patients, including  transplant recipients. Additionally, HCMV infection  exacerbates the development of transplant vascular  sclerosis (TVS) and accelerates chronic rejection (CR) of  solid organ transplants. Current therapies to control HCMV  do not sufficiently prevent this exacerbation of disease,  warranting further research. Here, we examine interactions  between the host-immune response and CMV-encoded proteins  during pathogenesis and viral dissemination, using a rat  CMV (RCMV) infection model of rat cardiac transplantation.},
