Cytomegalovirus (Concentrate)

Reacts with CMV immediate early antigen and early antigen. The antibody shows no cross-reaction with other herpesviruses or with adenovirus. In CMV-infected cells, the antibody gives a nuclear staining pattern early during the infection; at a later stage, a diffuse nuclear and apparent cytoplasmic staining is observed. The antibody is particularly well-suited for the detection of CMV in infected human embryonic fibroblasts.
