## Abstract Serum complement profiles of 19 renal transplant recipients were studied serially before and after renal transplantation to determine if there is any relationship between cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and alteration in the serum complement (C) levels. Most patients had low serum C3 an

## Abstract The relative merits of antibody response and virus shedding as markers of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection among cyclosporinβtreated renal allograft recipients were analysed. CMVβspecific antibody was assayed by lgGβspecific radioimmunosorbent test (RIST) and by complement fixation test
To detect cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, a total of 1,074 cultures of urine, saliva, or blood were collected weekly from 43 consecutive patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Twenty-three patients were seronegative before transplant and primary infection occurred in 2 (9%). T
