Serodiagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection by complement fixation tests depends on showing a 4-fold rise in antibody titer from acute- to convalescent-phase sera. Freeze-thaw and glycine-extracted, infected cell [human fetal lung HFDL] culture antigens used for these tests give markedly different titers in reactions with the same sera. The CMV-infected cell polypeptides contained in freeze-thaw and glycine-extracted antigens were characterized, and the proteins precipitated by 23 pairs of human acute and convalescent sera were identified. First, freeze-thaw and glycine-extracted antigens prepared from infected cells radiolabeled with [35S]methionine and subjected to electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels yielded similar patterns, and the bulk of the label was contained in late structural proteins and glycoproteins. Glycine-extracted preparations contained a greater proportion of soluble 66,000- and 50,000-MW proteins than did freeze-thaw antigens. Second, convalescent sera precipitated proteins migrating with apparent MW of 150,000, 130,000, 110,000, 96,000, 74,000, 66,000, 50,000, 34,000, 32,000 and 25,000. Of these, the 130,000-, 110,000-, 96,000-, 66,000-, 50,000- and 25,000 MW proteins comigraated with glucosamine-labeled polypeptides. Both IgG and IgM antibodies in human sera precipitated these proteins from CMV-infected cell preparations. Implications of the results for serodiagnosis of CMV infections are discussed.
