HLA-C and cytomegalovirus infection: As seen before, T cell recognition of HLA-A*0201 and HLA-C*0702 epitopes was differentially affected by different HCMV strains in cells transfected with native MHC class I genes: recognition of VLE/A*0201 was strongly reduced by wild-type CMV, CMV-US2, or CMV-US11, whereas recognition of CRV/C*0702 was not impaired by CMV-US2 or CMV-US11 and only partially by wild-type CMV infection.
