The human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a Herpes virus and belongs to the Betaherpesvirinae family. In general members of this family have a limited host range, expand slower in cell culture and have a longer growth cycle compared to Herpes Simplex Virus. HCMV infections are often located in salivary glands. In combination with a weak immune system HCMV infections can be lethal. The following antibodies are being used frequently in current publications for detecting HCMV: Cytomegalovirus ICP36 antibody (CH16), Cytomegalovirus ICP36 DNA Binding Protein (CMV ICP36) antibody and Cytomegalovirus UL84 (CMV UL84) antibody.
