Immunostaining techniques that use a monoclonal antibody against an early cytomegalovirus antigen or a polyclonal antibody, in situ DNA hybridization and inoculation of cell cultures for the detection of cytomegalovirus from liver biopsy specimens were studied in 20 liver transplant patients with cy

The value of IgM detection for the early diagnosis of an active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients was evaluated prospectively. Sequential serum samples obtained from 22 allograft recipients with active CMV infection were tested for the presence of CMV-specific immunoglob
An IgM antibody capture assay for detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgM antibody (MACRIA) was developed. It was shown to be of similar sensitivity to the indirect immunofluorescence test but has the advantage that rheumatoid factor does not react in it and pretest fractionation of serum is not requ
## Abstract A biotinβlabeled DNA probe specific for the imβ mediate early gene of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain AD 169 was generated with the polymerase chain reaction. Nucleic acid hybridisation was carried out with CMVβinfected Tβlymphoblastoid cells (MOLT4) after 4 hr to 6 days of culture. Bi
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA quantitation provides sensitive and specific data for detecting CMV as well as monitoring the infection and determining the appropriate antiviral strategy. A recently introduced real-time PCR assay for CMV DNA quantitation was applied
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation without cutaneous vesicles (zoster sine herpete) has been demonstrated in 8 to 25% of patients with acute peripheral facial palsy (APFP) by serological methods. To make an early diagnosis of zoster sine herpete, VZV DNA in oropharyngeal swabs from patients w
