Specificity

Reacts with an immediate early protein M.W. 68-72 kD. Can detect CMV infection 1 hour post-infection exhibiting a nuclear and/or intranuclear inclusion staining which reaches peak intensity between 8-24 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

Affinity purified early antigen from MRC-5 cells infected with CMV AD169 (ATCC).
Epitope: immediate early

As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses are completely dependent on host factors for replication. Assembly and egress of complex virus particles, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), are likely to require many host factors. Despite this, relatively few have been identified and

The genomes of RNA and small DNA viruses of vertebrates display significant suppression of CpG dinucleotide frequencies. Artificially increasing dinucleotide frequencies results in substantial attenuation of virus replication, suggesting that these compositional changes may facilitate recognition of non-self RNA sequences.

The human cytomegalovirus major immediate early proteins IE1 and IE2 are critical drivers of virus replication and are considered pivotal in determining the balance between productive and latent infection. IE1 and IE2 are derived from the same primary transcript by
