Comparison of simian and human cytomegalovirus reactivities in an enzyme-linked immunospecific assay: effect of antigen preparation on cross-reactive antigens.

摘要

Simian cytomegalovirus was substituted for human cytomegalovirus in an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Unlike the indirect immunofluorescence assay which demonstrates a two-way cross-reactivity, only one-way cross-reactivity was observed. Altering the method of simian antigen preparation gave some insight other this different reactivity.
