ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a process for detecting DNA, or a fragment thereof, that includes at least one sequence variation in relation to the sequence of a genomic region of a CMV strain that corresponds to the gB gene, with the proviso that the variation is not that found in the Towne strain of CMV, and that a CMV genome having the sequence variation would be capable of reproduction in a host system which supports reproduction of wild type CMV. The invention further relates to primers suitable for use in such a process.
