## Abstract An enzymeβlinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in urine using monoclonal antibodies directed against CMV as a capture for viral antigen. The assay was capable of detecting virus at 10^2.3^TCID~50~/ml as determined by titration of st

Abstract
We compared cytomegalovirus (CMV) isolation in tissue culture and viral DNA detection by DNA:DNA hybridization in 60 clinical urine samples concentrated by different procedures. Our results showed that urine concentration by filtration is the easiest and quickest procedure allowing further detection of CMV. With optimized working conditions, the CMV detection in urine can be done in 5 hr without requiring cell cultures or costly instruments.

During development of an enzyme immunoassay for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) we previously discovered that virus found naturally in urine specimens could not be captured onto the solid phase by CMV-specific monoclonal antibodies, whereas these same antibodies could capture CMV from cell cu
