Cost-effective cytomegalovirus native antigen

The Native Antigen Company (NAC) has released a highly purified cytomegalovirus (CMV) native antigen, which has been manufactured in response to the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry’s requirement for a cost-effective antigen that can demonstrate a high affinity for IgG and IgM. This latest antigen from NAC’s rapidly increasing portfolio also minimises cross-reactivity and lot-to-lot variation.

Presently, CMV infection is mostly controlled in immunocompromised patients by available antiviral drugs, yet it continues to maintain its role as one of the most dangerous infectious agents to the unborn infant. Primary infection is consistently associated with the presence of a virus-specific IgM antibody response. Use of NAC’s CMV purified native antigen will aid in improving serology-based assays for early detection.
