Cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin is used as a CMV-specific polyclonal immunoglobulin preparation that binds to CMV surface antigens thereby neutralizing the potential of CMV from entering host cells and presenting the CMV particle for phagocytosis. Furthermore, cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin can activate CMV-reactive immune cells for long-lasting CMV-specific immune responses. |
