Background: Cytomegalovirus gB
Cytomegalovirus is a common virus, infecting ~60% of adults in developed countries and over 90% in developing countries, as indicated by presence of specific IgG antibodies (2-4). Although a majority of people infected remain asymptomatic, immunocompromised people, organ transplant recipients, and fetuses and newborns are more susceptible to HCMV-associated diseases (1-4). Annually, up to 2% of newborns are born with HCMV, making it the most common congenital infection (2-4). Cytomegalovirus is known to cause sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), mental retardation, chorioretinitis, skin lesions, as well as end organ disease (3,5). There are a few CMV therapeutics approved by FDA including valganciclovir and letermovir; however, despite some benefits, there is the need for new antivirals and combination therapies (5). Potential new treatment options include monoclonal antibodies and sirtuins (5).
