Comparison of antibodies for rapid detection of cytomegalovirus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibodies were compared for use in the spin-amplified shell vial method for rapid cytomegalovirus detection. Commercial antibodies by Du Pont Co., Whittaker M.A. Bioproducts, Bartels Immunodiagnostic, Virostat, and Serono Diagnostics were compared at incubation times of 16 to 48 h on 22 patient specimens. Only the Du Pont antibody showed 100% sensitivity and specificity and no nonspecific reactions.

Development of a Sensitive Quantitative Competitive PCR Assay for Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in immunocompromised patients has remained as a challenge. Quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) methods for detection of HCMV in these individuals have improved the positive and negative predictive values of PCR for diagnosis of HCMV disease. In this study we used QC-PCR assay, using a co-amplified DNA standard, to quantitate...

متن کاملHuman cytomegalovirus infection in tumor specimens of Iranian patients with glioma
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) causes persistent infection in humans and severe diseases in fetus andimmunocompromised individuals. Although HCMV is not currently implicated in human cancer, emerging evidence suggests that HCMV infection might be specifically associated with some human malignancies including glioma. Glioma is one of the most common brain tumors affecting children and adults. In t...
