CHEMOMAGNETIC RETRIEVAL OF CMV AND CMV INFECTED CELLS

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided herein for collecting CMV and/or CMV infected cells from a host infected with CMV. Such methods and apparatus have utility in tracking the dissemination or infection of the host, use as an in vivo or ex vivo collection mechanism to measure mutation rates and selective pressures after in vivo passage, and in therapeutic treatments in which CMV and/or CMV infected cells are removed from a host.
