In recent years there have been major advances in the field of rapid diagnosis of human
cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections. p72-Specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have led to …

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was applied to detect cytomegalovirus (CMV)
DNA. Two pairs of synthetic oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify DNA from the …

Rapid diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may be obtained by molecular
techniques, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization assays. The …

Hybridization assays provide a sensitive and rapid means for studying the molecular biology
of viral replication and for identifying viral nucleic acid in biological specimens. Such assays …

Standardization of the various assays used for diagnosis of HCMV disease in different
laboratories is a necessary step before antiviral response to specific therapy can be …

The measurement of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA in blood is becoming the
standard method for monitoring HCMV infection in immune-suppressed and unsuppressed …

With the advent of effective therapy rapid, sensitive and reliable assays for diagnosis of
human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections are required. In a total of 1,928 urine samples …

We evaluated a rapid and sensitive method to determine human cytomegalovirus (CMV)
DNA levels in blood cells using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique …

Background Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection poses a significant health threat to
immunocompromised individuals. Here we performed this study to set up a highly sensitive …

In two studies comparing detection of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in 118 patients (93 of
whom were immunocompromised) by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and virus …
