Proteome characterization of HCMV virus microenvironment

The control of host processes which influence cell-cell communication is central to determining the outcome of a virus infection in tissue. Despite this, it remains unclear how cells either in close or distant proximity to an infected cell differentially respond to the primary infection. Here, we established a virus infection microenvironment to resolve molecular features and functional consequences of cell spatial address within this localized niche by mass spectrometry.
