HCMV-NEC analysis - Proteomic analysis of the multimeric nuclear egress complex of human cytomegalovirus

Herpesviral capsids are assembled in the host cell nucleus before being translocated to the cytoplasm where they undergo further maturation. The crossing of nuclear envelope represents a major event that requires formation of the nuclear egress complex (NEC). We investigated the protein composition of specific HCMV-NEC complex in infected infected human primary fibroblasts.
