Enhancement of cytomegalovirus detection in mink lung cells using CMV TurboTreat™

The o/n pretreatment with CMV TurboTreat™ on Mv1Lu cells is the optimum condition of treatment and significantly enhanced the detection of HCMV. Even 4 h pretreatment of Mv1Lu cells showed significant enhancement over untreated Mv1Lu, R-Mix and MRC-5 cells. Pretreatment of Mv1Lu cells with CMV TurboTreat™ for 4 h or longer increased the sensitivity of rapid HCMV detection.
