Abstract:
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may cause life-threatening complications and lead to failure in transplantation. So, it is very important to explore the laboratory methods which can detect the CMV sufficiently early and accurately. This review discusses methodological aspects of quantitative CMV assays with emphasis on recently developed antigen detection assays and molecular biological methods.
