Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antigen

Researchers working on cytomegalovirus serology and diagnostics rely on well-characterized viral antigens to develop and validate immunoassays. This liquid CMV antigen preparation from Antibodies.com is supplied in a 1 ml volume and is validated for use in ELISA and Western blot workflows, supporting plate-coating steps and confirmatory immunoblot analysis of CMV-specific antibody responses.

In ELISA protocols, the antigen can be used to coat microplate wells, allowing detection of CMV IgG or IgM antibodies in serum samples. In Western blot workflows, the resolved antigen reveals immunoreactive CMV protein bands, including immunodominant targets such as the tegument protein pp65, enabling confirmation of serostatus and study of humoral immune reactivity.

The product also serves as a positive control reagent in CMV diagnostic kit manufacturing, and supports research into viral immunogenicity, vaccine candidate screening, and standardization of serological assays. The liquid format simplifies dilution into appropriate buffer systems for coating or running gels. For storage, aliquot upon receipt and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antigen activity. Intended for research use only.
