Applicable Applications for CYTOMEGALOVIRUS antigen
ELISA (EIA)
Application Notes
Optimal dilutions should be determined by end user.
Source
Cytomegalovirus strain AD-169, cultured in MRC-5, a diploid cell line of human lung origin.
Product Type
Antigen
Preparation
MRC-5 monolayers are infected in a manner which will ensure that the full host of viral proteins are present upon harvest. Optimally infected tissue is collected in glycine buffered saline. The cells are disrupted to release cellular CMV antigen. Cellular debris is removed by centrifugation.
The antigen preparation is inactivated using gamma radiation, which primarily damages viral genetic material.

Related Product Information for CYTOMEGALOVIRUS antigen
Cytomegalovirus is a member of the Herpesviridae family. It may be transmitted from person to person through urine, saliva, other bodily fluids, breast milk and transplanted organs. It is a common infection which mostly passes unnoticed. The infection may be dangerous to people who are immunocompromised such as those who are HIV positive or organ transplant recipients. The infection may also be dangerous to pre- and post-natal infants. Antiviral drugs are useful in the treatment of CMV infection.

Product Notes
The CYTOMEGALOVIRUS (Catalog #AAA239149) is an Antigen and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's CYTOMEGALOVIRUS can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). Optimal dilutions should be determined by end user. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CYTOMEGALOVIRUS for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, Antigen" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
