Indirect hemagglutination inhibition: a direct method for detecting cytomegalovirus antigen. 1983

S B Black, and M Raas, and L Mintz, and H R Shinefield, and W L Drew

We have developed a simple and sensitive technique for detecting CMV antigen in tissue culture specimens. The IHI assay is a modification of the IHA, which is capable of reliably detecting 10(3) median TCID50 of virus. With the IHI assay, antigen is detected by its capacity to inhibit the reactivity of CMV antisera of known titer in an IHA assay. The test is specific, uses readily available reagents, and is easy to perform. The IHI assay may serve as a tool for screening tissue culture specimens for CMV.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
