System marking cell line to detect the presence of cytomegalovirus and identify modulators of the expression of viral genes.

摘要

THIS invention relates to cell lines YA procedures to detect Cytomegalovirus AND TO IDENTIFY MODULATORS cytomegalovirus gene expression. CELL LINES LEADING INTEGRATED a plasmid containing a gene informer under the control of a cytomegalovirus. THESE CAN BE USED CELL LINES, FOR EXAMPLE, TO IDENTIFY SPECIFICALLY HCMV infection in a biological sample.
