## Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and adenovirus cause significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We have previously establisheda procedure for the generation of polyclonal CTL with specificity against adenovirus and HCMV u
The use of sensitive and specific methods for rapid and reliable diagnosis is required due to the considerable impact of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in organ transplant recipients. For this purpose the demonstration of the presence of viral antigens in peripheral blood leukocytes (PMNLs) and of vir
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
## Abstract Primary Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and reactivation of persistent CMV are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in immunoβcompromised individuals. Although recovery from CMV disease is correlated with the development of CMVβspecific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), the
