The virus was detected in a variety of pig organs (including potential xenotransplant donations), with viral loads ranging from <10 to 97 genome copies/ g of DNA. This assay will have significant utility for studying the activation and replication of PCMV and in swine models for allo- and xenotransplantation.en-USJournal Article2017-12-0820012020-08-1010.1128/JCM.39.3.1155-1156.2001
