Development of a new cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin M (IgM) immunoblot for detection of CMV-specific IgM.
We developed a new cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin M (IgM) immunoblot to detect CMV-specific IgM in human sera. The new test contains four viral proteins (vp150, vp82, vp65, and vp28) purified from viral particles and four recombinant proteins (rp150, rp130, rp52, and rp38) purified from Escherichia coli. These antigens were individually loaded onto nitrocellulose strips, and the strips we...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Abbott AxSYM cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin M (IgM) assay in conjunction with other CMV IgM tests and a CMV IgG avidity assay.
The measurement of the avidity of cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies has been shown by several investigators to be useful in identifying and excluding primary CMV infections in pregnant women. In this work, we examined the diagnostic utility of reflex testing of CMV IgM-positive specimens from pregnant women by using a CMV IgG avidity assay. The utility of this approach was...
متن کاملserological elisa test (igm & igg) for prospective study of cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection in pregnant women
background: cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection is associated with significant maternal and fetal consequences. the aim of present study was to determine the current prenatal cmv seroprevalence in eastern azerbaijan and evaluate the routine laboratory diagnostic techniques of anti-cmv immunoglobulin m (igm) and immunoglobulin g (igg). methods: during the present prospective cross-sectional study,...
متن کاملCMV DNA in blood donors with IgM and IgG CMV antibodies.
Strategies for preventing posttransfusion CMV infections include testing for CMV antibodies, CMV DNA, and/or WBC reduction of blood components. 1,2 Early studies with molecular methods produced conflicting results. Nevertheless, recent investigations show that improved CMV PCR assays do not necessarily increase detection of CMV DNA in healthy CMV-seronegative blood donors. 3,4 We confirm these ...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus Hyper Immunoglobulin for CMV Prophylaxis in Thoracic Transplantation
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection negatively influences both short- and long-term outcomes after cardiothoracic transplantation. In heart transplantation, registry analyses have shown that CMV immunoglobulin (CMVIG) with or without virostatic prophylaxis is associated with a significant reduction in mortality and graft loss versus no prophylaxis, particularly in high-risk donor (D)+/recipient (R)...
