We previously showed that HCMV-infected monocytes had increased levels of the full-length 32 kDa and partially cleaved 20‐kDa forms of caspase-3, while showing similar levels of the fully-cleaved 17 kDa form of caspase‐3, when compared to mock-infected monocytes by three days post infection [24]. This evidence concerns the gene CASP3 and infection.
