Comparison of occurrence of antibodies to human cytomegalovirus as demonstrated by immunofluorescence and indirect hemagglutination techniques

J Clin Microbiol. 1979 Jan;9(1):149-51. doi: 10.1128/jcm.9.1.149-151.1979.

Abstract

Indirect immunofluorescence and hemagglutination study of reactivity to human cytomegalovirus immediate early, early, and late antigens revealed that antibody responses to these antigens varies greatly and that hemagglutination is positive when sera contain only antibody to one or both early antigens.
