Comparison of four techniques for detection of antibodies to cytomegalovirus.

RESUMO

Four serological methods were compared and evaluated for use in detecting cytomegalovirus antibody in blood and organ donors. Western blotting (immunoblotting), latex agglutination, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and a recent available microparticle enzyme immunosorbent assay were used. The microparticle enzyme immunoassay appears to compare favorably with each of the other three assays tested for screening blood and organ donors for a previous cytomegalovirus infection.
