Solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus.

ABSTRACT

A sensitive, solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for the detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus is described. The results of the enzyme immunoassay correlated well with those obtained by an indirect immunofluorescence method. Horseradish peroxidase proved to be a more sensitive label than alkaline phosphatase. Nonspecific reactions, occurring with commercially available cytomegalovirus antigens, could be avoided by using a nuclear antigen prepared from sonically disrupted nuclei of cytomegalovirus-infected cells.
