RESUMO
A fluorescing cell assay (FCA) technique utilizing the indirect fluorescent-antibody method to measure human cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected cells has been applied to the rapid determination of CMV-neutralizing antibody. Human sera with complement fixation titers to CMV of 1/32 or greater and fluorescein-conjugated rabbit anti-human globulin are the primary and secondary reagents in the fluorescent-antibody test. FCA measured in 3 days the same number of infectious units measured by plaque assay in 2 weeks. FCA and plaque assay yielded identical neutralizing antibody titers to CMV in 20 human sera.
