Specificity

Reacts with a late protein. Can detect CMV infection 24 hours post-infection exhibiting a cytoplasmic staining which reaches peak intensity at >72 hours.

With CMV the antigens expressed at different times are listed as:



Immediate Early (alpha gene expression): those antigens expressed at 3-12 hrs post-infection generally involved in Transcription such as 72kD major phosphoprotein and a few other other antigens at 60 - 80kD.

Early Antigen (beta genes) a.k.a. Delayed Early or Intermediate Early: expressed at 12-24hrs post-infection. Generally enzymes and one virion structural gene preceding viral DNA synthesis.

Late Antigen (gamma genes): expressed at 36-48hrs post-infection. Generally structural proteins. Major protein = 55kD

Immunogen

Epitope: late antigen
Sucrose gradient purified CMV AD169 (ATCC).

Application

Detect Cytomegalovirus using this Anti-Cytomegalovirus Antibody, late antigen, clone 1G5.2 validated for use in FC, IF, IH(P).
Immunochemistry.

IFA at 1:400-1:800 on acetone fixed cells.

Works on paraffin embedded tissue sections.

Dilute with buffer pH 7.4-7.6 to desired working volume.

For extensive dilution, protein containing or other stabilizing medium should be used.

Final working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Journal of clinical microbiology, 36(4), 958-964 (1998-05-23)
A flow cytometric assay has been developed for the measurement of susceptibilities to ganciclovir of laboratory strains and clinical isolates of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The assay uses fluorochrome-labeled monoclonal antibodies to HCMV immediate-early and late antigens to identify HCMV-infected cells

Medulloblastomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in children. They express high levels of COX-2 and produce PGE2, which stimulates tumor cell proliferation. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is prevalent in the human population and encodes proteins that provide immune evasion

Herpesviridae, 4(1), 3-3 (2013-11-16)
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) but the role of this virus in CVD progression remains unclear. We aimed to examine the HCMV serostatus in Russian patients (n = 90) who had undergone carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and controls

Both arginase (ARG2) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) have been implicated in tumorigenesis. However, the role of ARG2 in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma (GBM) and the HCMV effects on ARG2 are unknown. We hypothesize that HCMV may contribute to tumorigenesis by
