ABSTRACT:
Cell lines and methods for detecting cytomegalovirus infection and identifying modulators of cytomegalovirus gene expression are disclosed. The cell lines carry an integrated plasmid that contains a reporter gene under the control of a cytomegalovirus promoter. Such cell lines may be used, for example, for specifically identifying HCMV infection in a biological sample.
