IMPROVED WESTERN BLOT TEST FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC AGAINST THE HCMV VIRUS

摘要

Diagnostic tool for the identification of anti-HCMV antibodies in the human serum, comprising a solid support with two sections, section 1 bearing a plurality of HCMV proteins (vp) obtained from purified virions concentrated in separate bands forming a predetermined pattern, one of these bands being pp150 of HCMV; section 2 bearing recombinant fusion proteins as controls at least one band comprising a recombinant fusion protein carrying at least one epitope of pp150.
