Abstract
The first isolation of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in a renal transplanted patient dates back to 1965. Since then, this infection has been one of the most challenging for immunosuppressed patients. In spite of the danger represented by this herpes virus, the specific cellular response induced by it in affected humans has been detected and investigated in its deep mechanisms only recently.
