Short Description:
This kit is used for qualitative determination of nucleic acids in samples including serum or plasma from patients with suspected HCMV infection, so as to help the diagnosis of HCMV infection.
Epidemiology
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a member with the largest genome in the herpes virus family and can encode more than 200 proteins. HCMV is narrowly restricted in its host range to humans, and there is still no animal model of its infection. HCMV has a slow and long replication cycle to form an intranuclear inclusion body, and trigger the production of perinuclear and cytoplasmic inclusion bodies and cell swelling (giant cells), hence the name. According to the heterogeneity of its genome and phenotype, HCMV can be divided into a variety of strains, among which there are certain antigenic variations, which, however, are of no clinical significance.
