Abstract l A protein immunoblot (western blot) assay was developed for detection of IgG and
IgM antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV) in banked serum and was used to study the
epidemiology of infection in a breeding population of rhesus macaques. All juveniles and
adults were antibody-positive to CMV. Repeated samples from 1990-born infants (n= 28)
over a 12-month period allowed retrospective assessment of CMV seroconversion. Most
infants (23 of 25 seroconversions) were apparently exposed to CMV during their first year of …
