CMV Antibody (0871) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects CMV protein of CMV origin by western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-CMV antibody (0871) is available as the non-conjugated format. Cytomegalovirus (CMV), also known as human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5), is a member of the herpes virus family, which includes herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, Varicella Zoster Virus, and Epstein Barr virus. CMV can establish latency within the host, evading the immune system and persisting in the body for extended periods. This characteristic leads to reactivation during periods of immunosuppression, posing significant risks to vulnerable populations, including organ transplant recipients and individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those living with HIV. CMV primarily resides in various body fluids, including saliva, urine, and breast milk, and has a predilection for infecting salivary glands, which can result in severe complications, especially in fetuses and immunocompromised patients. The ability of CMV to remain dormant and reactivate underscores the importance of monitoring and understanding this virus in clinical settings, making CMV monoclonal antibody (0871) an essential tool for researchers and healthcare professionals alike.
