Greber and his team infected human cells in culture with the chemically labeled viruses, and observed the behavior of the viral DNA during entry into cells. (sciencedaily.com)
To do this, a team led by Matthew Weitzman of the University of Pennsylvania crosslinked the host factors of infected human cells with the DNA of adenovirus, herpes simplex virus and vaccinia virus. (asbmb.org)
To confirm these findings, the team infected human cells in dish with two forms of CMV — one of which could generate the IE2 accelerator circuit and one that could not. (gladstone.org)
