RESUMO

By insertional mutagenesis, human cytomegalovirus recombinants deleted of each of the US6 glycoprotein family genes were isolated. A recombinant lacking IRS1, US1 through US5, and most of the US6 family was also isolated. The growth kinetics of these mutants were similar to that of the wild type. A dispensable cluster of genes was identified.
