Rapid diagnosis of cytomegalovirus by indirect immunofluorescence assay with monoclonal antibody F6b in a commercially available kit.

چکیده
Anti-human cytomegalovirus (CMV) monoclonal antibody (MAb) F6b produced by clone 95/12 was used for the rapid diagnosis (16 to 24 h) of CMV isolates in 308 clinical specimens and compared with classic isolation. MAb F6b gave 100% correlation with isolation. When this MAb was used for direct diagnosis with 212 urine and bronchoalveolar specimens, detection of CMV varied from 50 to 75% compared with viral isolation.

Rapid detection of cytomegalovirus in MRC-5 cells inoculated with urine specimens by using low-speed centrifugation and monoclonal antibody to an early antigen.
A commercially available monoclonal antibody directed against an early nuclear protein of cytomegalovirus was used with low-speed centrifugation for the rapid detection of this virus from urine specimens inoculated onto MRC-5 cells. A total of 19 of 162 (11.7%) urine specimens inoculated were positive by both immunofluorescence and peroxidase-antiperoxidase procedures (sensitivity, 100%), where...
متن کاملRapid detection of cytomegalovirus by fluorescent monoclonal antibody staining and in situ DNA hybridization in a dram vial cell culture system.
By using dram vial cell culture methods, three commercially available tests for cytomegalovirus (CMV) detection were compared: direct fluorescent monoclonal antibody staining for CMV-specific early and late antigens (direct FA), indirect fluorescent monoclonal antibody staining for a CMV-specific early antigen (indirect FA), and in situ DNA hybridization with a biotinylated CMV-specific DNA pro...
متن کاملDetection of specific immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus by using monoclonal antibody to immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.
The detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to cytomegalovirus-induced late antigens by an indirect immunofluorescence assay was improved by the use of monoclonal antibodies to human IgM. Nonspecific background fluorescence was absent, facilitating the reading of the slides and the detection of a specific fluorescence reaction in sera with low levels of specific IgM. Moreover, the indire...
متن کاملComparison of five methods of cytomegalovirus antibody screening of blood donors.
A group of 120 sera from blood donors was screened by complement fixation and commercially available immunofluorescence, solid-phase fluorescence immunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and indirect hemagglutination tests. Twenty-four of the sera were positive by three or more of the five tests and judged to be true positives; 89 were negative by three or more of the tests and considere...

Background & Aims: Nowadays, by advent of hybridoma technology in monoclonal antibodies production various cell markers could be evaluated in malignant and non-malignant cells. CD20, non-glycosylated phosphoprotein is as an ideal marker in leukemia and B-cell lymphoma diagnosis which is expressed on more than 95% of normal and neoplastic B-cells except for early B-cells and mature plasma. Th...
