    Abstract:
    An indirect hemagglutination test with lyophilized, fixed, tanned, and cytomegalovirus (CMV)-sensitized sheep erythrocytes for the detection of CMV antibodies is reported. To avoid nonspecific hemagglutination, cells were fixed with glutaraldehyde or Formalin directly in whole blood. The lyophilized, CMV-sensitized erythrocytes obtained by this technique were stable up to 9 months at 37 degrees C and retained the same reactivity at fresh, CMV-sensitized cells. Indirect hemagglutination performed with lyophilized, sensitized cells was highly efficient in detecting CMV-antibodies as compared with complement fixation and enzyme immunoassay.
