Abstract
A commercially available monoclonal antibody directed against an early nuclear protein of cytomegalovirus was used with low-speed centrifugation for the rapid detection of this virus from urine specimens inoculated onto MRC-5 cells. A total of 19 of 162 (11.7%) urine specimens inoculated were positive by both immunofluorescence and peroxidase-antiperoxidase procedures (sensitivity, 100%), whereas only 18 of the samples produced cytopathic effects in conventional cell culture (specificity, 94.7%). All specimens were positive by immunofluorescence and peroxidase-antiperoxidase procedures at 36 h postinfection, whereas an average of 9 days was required for cytopathic effects to develop in cell cultures.
