IMPROVED WESTERN BLOT TEST FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ANTIBODY SPECIFIC AGAINST HCMV VIRUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diagnostic tool for identification of anti-HCMV antibodies in human serum.;SOLUTION: The diagnostic tool comprises a solid support with two sections, wherein the section 1 bears a plurality of HCMV proteins (vp) obtained from purified virions concentrated in separate bands forming a predetermined pattern, one of these bands is pp150 of HCMV; the section 2 bears recombinant fusion proteins as controls, and at least one band comprises a recombinant fusion protein carrying at least one epitope of pp150.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
