This invention also relates to recombinant vectors expressing one or more of the human CMV (HCMV) glycoproteins US2, US3, US6 and US11 or corresponding functional rhesus CMV (RhCMV) homologues Rh182, Rh184, Rh185 or Rh189, methods of making them, uses for them, expression products from them, and uses for the expression products. This invention also relates to recombinant cytomegalovirus vectors vectors lacking one or more of the glycoproteins, methods of making them, uses for them, expression products from them, and uses for the expression products.
