Abstract

A mammalian monoclonal receptor is produced by a hybridoma formed by fusion of cells from a myeloma cell line and lymphocytes that produce antibodies that react with a viral antigen from a mammal immunized with cytomegalovirus-infected cells. The monoclonal receptor reacts with the viral antigen in a diagnostic system to detect the presence of cytomegalovirus in a biological sample.
