title: Production of monoclonal antibodies against phosphoprotein 65 from human cytomegalovirus.
abstract: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has a very high infection rate in the normal population. Early diagnosis is of great value, especially in immunosuppressed individuals. HCMV phosphoprotein 65 (pp65) is the most widely used antigen for diagnosis. In this report, we prepared a monoclonal antibody against pp65, which could be used for both immunohistochemistry and Western blot diagnosis of HCMV infection.
