ABSTRACT:
A combined antigen having at least three portions of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) proteins and characterized by an enhanced ability to bind HCMV-specific antibodies, for use in assays for the detection of HCMV-specific antibodies and as a vaccine to confer protective immunity against HCMV-mediated diseases.
