		Technical Data
C9098-29A	Cytomegalovirus, Early Antigen (CMV, Early Glycoprotein GP48, HCMV, Human Herpesvirus 5, HHV-5, HHV5, UL4)

Description:
Cytomegalovirus is an enveloped double stranded DNA virus which in humans (HCMV) is also commonly known as human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). Early HCMV proteins are expressed in the nucleus of infected cells within 3 to 24 hours of infection, prior to viral DNA replication.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry (frozen and paraffin). Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
