چکیده

Indirect immunofluorescence and hemagglutination study of reactivity to human cytomegalovirus immediate early, early, and late antigens revealed that antibody responses to these antigens varies greatly and that hemagglutination is positive when sera contain only antibody to one or both early antigens.

Anticomplement immunofluorescence test that uses isolated fibroblast nuclei for detection of antibodies to human cytomegalovirus.

Cytomegalovirus antibodies were measured in human sera by a nuclear anticomplement immunofluorescence test that used as antigen the isolated nucleic of virus-infected fibroblasts cells lysed in distilled water. The method exhibited less nonspecific fluorescence than either a conventional whole-cell anticomplement immunofluorescence test or an indirect fluorescent antibody test applied to the sa...

Comparison of five methods of cytomegalovirus antibody screening of blood donors.

A group of 120 sera from blood donors was screened by complement fixation and commercially available immunofluorescence, solid-phase fluorescence immunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and indirect hemagglutination tests. Twenty-four of the sera were positive by three or more of the five tests and judged to be true positives; 89 were negative by three or more of the tests and considere...

Detection of specific immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus by using monoclonal antibody to immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.

The detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to cytomegalovirus-induced late antigens by an indirect immunofluorescence assay was improved by the use of monoclonal antibodies to human IgM. Nonspecific background fluorescence was absent, facilitating the reading of the slides and the detection of a specific fluorescence reaction in sera with low levels of specific IgM. Moreover, the indire...

[Indirect hemagglutination test for detection of antibodies to cytomegalovirus in blood collected on blotting paper (author's transl)].

Indirect hemagglutination test for detection of antibodies to cytomegalovirus is highly sensitive and reproducible, if employed in well-defined conditions. Standardization of the various factors involved is necessary as well as their reciprocal equilibrium : sheep erythrocytes, antigen, dilution of tanin, buffers quality. The hemagglutination test can be performed on small volumes such as blood...

Immunization with cytomegalovirus gB protein produced by the Baculovirus Expression Vector System to elicit humoral immune response in BALB/c mice

Introduction: Due to the role of neutralizing antibodies which can prevent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, most of the efforts have been focused on  designing vaccines capable of eliciting protective humoral immunity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibody response of BALB/c mice to a truncated HCMV glycoprotein B produced in insect cells using Baculovirus Expression Vector ...
