Specificity

Reacts with a late protein. Can detect CMV infection 24 hours post-infection exhibiting a cytoplasmic staining which reaches peak intensity at >72 hours.

With CMV the antigens expressed at different times are listed as:



Immediate Early (alpha gene expression): those antigens expressed at 3-12 hrs post-infection generally involved in Transcription such as 72kD major phosphoprotein and a few other other antigens at 60 - 80kD.

Early Antigen (beta genes) a.k.a. Delayed Early or Intermediate Early: expressed at 12-24hrs post-infection. Generally enzymes and one virion structural gene preceding viral DNA synthesis.

Late Antigen (gamma genes): expressed at 36-48hrs post-infection. Generally structural proteins. Major protein = 55kD

Immunogen

Epitope: late antigen
Sucrose gradient purified CMV AD169 (ATCC).

Application

Detect Cytomegalovirus using this Anti-Cytomegalovirus Antibody, late antigen, clone 1G5.2 validated for use in FC, IF, IH(P).

Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is increasingly suggested to be involved in human carcinogenesis and onco-modulation due to its ability to contribute to all hallmarks of cancer. Growing evidence demonstrates a link between HCMV infection and various malignancies, including breast cancer

Medulloblastomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in children. They express high levels of COX-2 and produce PGE2, which stimulates tumor cell proliferation. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is prevalent in the human population and encodes proteins that provide immune evasion

Clinical breast cancer, 17(7), 526-535 (2017-06-10)
The underlying mechanisms for breast cancer (BC) are largely unknown. We investigated possible correlations between the expression levels of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) proteins and established histopathological markers of BC, including expression of estrogen receptor (ER)-α, the progesterone receptor (PgR), and
