The major immediate early gene of human cytomegalovirus has been cloned. The fragment of the immediate early protein containing 351 amino acids has been fused with cro-beta-galactosidase and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The obtained recombinant protein reacts in immunoblotting with the antibodies in human sera from patients suffering from acute cytomegalovirus infection.
