Application of a human osteogenic sarcoma cell culture for detection of human cytomegalovirus antibody by immunofluorescence tests

Abstract
A human osteogenic sarcoma cell culture [E-155] is useful in the immunofluorescence serological test for detecting human cytomegalovirus antibody. These sarcoma cells are chronically infected with human cytomegalovirus and provide a constant number of immunofluorescence-positive cells.
