SET REACTIVOS ELISA, CMV PARA 480 ENSAYOS, 1 KIT

The broad-spectrum reagents contain complementary polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to different virus isolates. The polyclonal antibodies used for coating were made against isolates in the CMV II subgroup but also recognize CMV I subgroup isolates (1,4). The «conjugate» consists of poly- and monoclonal antibodies, reacting also to isolates of serogroups I and II. The reagents have been used to detect CMV of both subgroups from different plant species from different parts of the world; e.g., from North America, Asia and Europe (R. Martin, personal communication, M. Turina, personal communication and W. Bitterlin, unpublished). Samples are homogenised 1:20 (w/v) in extraction buffer «General» (Art. No. 110120). The product was developed in cooperation with the USDA-ARS Horticultural Crops Research Laboratory, Corvallis, OR, USA; and the Istituto di Virologia Vegetale, CNR, Torino, Italy
