Co-evolution of CMVs and their hosts has led to exploitation of the first line of defense and conserved signaling pathways. Upon infection, macrophages are targeted primarily by MCMV and reprogrammed via activation of Wnt and TGF-b. This cell state serves viral replication and dissemination at the expense of cell-intrinsic traits.
