Method for detection of CMV infection.

摘要

A method and kit for the prediction and detection of CMV infection in solid organ transplant patients is described. The method comprises the use of fluorescently labelled monoclonal antibodies against CD45RO, CD45RA and CD4 antigens on a sample of blood and determining the ratio of CD45RA:CD45RO on CD4<+> T cells. A ratio of greater than 1 correlates with CMV infection.
