Overview
- Detection kits for CMV
- Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) or Human betaherpesvirus 5 (HHV-5) is a member of the Family Orthoherpesviridae. HCMV belongs to the betaherpesvirinae subfamily, while other herpesviruses fall into the subfamilies of Alphaherpesvirinae (including HSV 1 and 2 and varicella) or Gammaherpesvirinae (including Epstein-Barr virus). All herpes viruses share a characteristic ability to remain latent within the body over long periods of time. While CMV can be found in numerous body fluids including urine, saliva, breast milk, blood, tears, semen, and vaginal fluids, urine samples are generally used for congenital HCMV infection screening due to high viruria observed in infected infants.
