Cytomegalovirus, Human, IgM, BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit (CMV)

The United States Biological Cytomegalovirus, Human, IgM, BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit is intended for use in the detection of IgM antibodies to Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.\n\nCytomegalovirus is a herpes virus and a leading biological factor causing congenital abnormalities and complications among those who receive massive blood transfusions and immunosuppressive therapy. About half of pregnant women who contract a primary infection spread the disease to their fetus. When acquired in- utero, the infection may cause mental retardation, blindness, and/or deafness. Serological tests for detecting the presence of antibody to CMV can provide valuable information regarding the history of previous infection, diagnosis of active or recent infection, as well as in screening blood for transfusions in newborns and immuno-compromised recipients.\n\nThe United States Biological Cytomegalovirus, Human, IgM, BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit is an accurate serologic method to detect CMV IgM antibody for research of CMV infection.\n \nKit Components:\n1. Microtiter Plate: 1x96 wells\n2. Absorbent Solution: 1X22 ml\n3. Wash Buffer,10X: 1X100ml\n4. Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB): 1x15ml\n5. Enzyme conjugate: 1X12 ml \n6. Cut-off Calibrator: 1X150ul\n7.
