Objective: Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection accounts for approximately 20% of all cases of neonatal hearing loss, while the GJB2 mutation accounts for 30-50% of all cases of profound nonsyndromic hearing loss in many populations. Here, outcomes for auditory behavior and speech and language
## Abstract Pregnancy outcome after maternal primary CMV infection initiated at different times during gestation was investigated by using the inbred Strainβ2 guinea pig model of congenital CMV infection. The highest vertical transmission rates occurred in pups from dams that were initially viremic
The humoral immune response to individual proteins of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) was studied by immunoblotting. CMV polypeptides present in an extract of CMV-infected fibroblasts in a late stage of infection were recognized by sera of healthy seropositive individuals and transplant recipients who s
