Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antigen

Purified viral antigen preparations like this one are foundational reagents for cytomegalovirus serology, enabling researchers and clinical laboratories to detect IgG and IgM antibodies against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV, also known as human herpesvirus 5) in patient specimens. The 1 mg liquid product is formulated for direct ELISA plate coating, supporting workflows that screen transplant candidates, monitor immunocompromised patients for viral reactivation, and investigate congenital CMV transmission. Beyond ELISA, the antigen can serve as an immunogen for antibody titer studies, a positive control on immunoblots, or a capture reagent in custom immunoassay development. Its liquid format simplifies dilution into coating buffers and avoids the reconstitution variability sometimes seen with lyophilized antigens. This Antibodies.com reagent is supplied ready for laboratory research use in diagnostic and basic virology studies.
