objective To confirm the efficacy of human cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin for intravenous injection (CMV-IVIG) against cytomegalovirus (CMV) in laboratory. Methods The effectiveness of CMV-IVIG was confirmed by measuring the ability to inhibit the expression of immediate early gene (IE) 1 of CMV and cytopathic changes using immunofluorescence and cytopathic effect tests, respectively. Results The expression of IE1 and the number of diseased cells increased with the increase of dilution ratio, with 27 times diluted CMV-IVIG inhibiting 90.77%-95.85% CMV infection and 103 times diluted CMV-IVIG inhibiting >90% cytopathic effect. Conclusion The CMV specific neutralizing antibody in CMV-IVIG can neutralize CMV and stop the cell infection with good dose-response relationship.
