Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antigen

Antigens from Antibodies.com support infectious disease research and serological assay development. This Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antigen is supplied as a 100 µg liquid preparation in a vial, compatible with ELISA and western blot workflows for detecting CMV-specific antibodies or characterizing viral protein reactivity. CMV is a prevalent betaherpesvirus (HHV-5) that establishes lifelong latency and poses particular clinical risk for immunocompromised individuals, transplant recipients, and congenitally infected neonates. Purified viral antigens serve as capture or coating reagents in immunoassays measuring seroconversion, and they are equally useful as positive controls in western blot confirmatory testing, where CMV-specific bands at characteristic molecular weights help distinguish past exposure from active infection.
