Background	The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgM ELISA Kit is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Specimen samples are diluted with Sample Diluent and additionally incubated with IgG-RF-Sorbent to eliminate competitive inhibition from specific IgG. This pretreatment avoids false low results. Microtiter wells as a solid phase are coated with inactivated grade 2 Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen (strain AD-169). Diluted sample specimens and ready-for-use controls are pipetted into these wells. During incubation Cytomegalie Virus (CMV)-specific antibodies of high specimens and controls are bound to the immobilized antigens. After a washing step to remove unbound sample and control material horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-human IgM antibodies are dispensed into the wells. During a second incubation this anti-IgM conjugate binds specifically to IgM antibodies resulting in the formation of enzyme-linked immune complexes. After a second washing step to remove unbound conjugate the immune complexes formed (in case of high results) are detected by incubation with TMB substrate and development of a blue color. The blue color turns into yellow by stopping the enzymatic indicator reaction with sulfuric acid. The intensity of this color is directly proportional to the amount of Cytomegalie Virus (CMV)-specific IgM antibody in the sample specimen. Absorbance at 450 nm is read using an ELISA microtiter plate reader.
