    Publication number: 20040254094
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for use in treating or preventing infections. More particularly, the invention relates to methods for screening for modulators that inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase and the use of these putative inhibitors to control proliferation of a DNA virus that is dependent upon events associated with cell proliferation for replication. The DNA virus includes any of the herpesvirus family, and most particularly human cytomegalovirus.
