RESUMO
We have constructed defined human cytomegalovirus (CMV) mutants by cotransfecting overlapping cosmid clones spanning the 230-kbp genome. Using this strategy, we have introduced a 13-kbp region of DNA from a virulent strain of CMV into a defined position within the avirulent CMV(Towne) genome. Although more than 80% of the genome of these recombinant viruses was derived from Towne DNA, their plaque morphology more closely resembled that of Toledo. To date, CMV is the largest virus and requires the greatest number of cosmids to be regenerated via overlapping cosmid cotransfection.
