Figure 2.

Direct correlation of cytomegalovirus (CMV)–neutralizing and CMV-binding immunoglobulin (Ig) G responses in milk and plasma of CMV-seropositive mothers of very low–birth-weight (VLBW) infants, including CMV-specific cellular responses (A), neutralizing antibody responses (B), normalized CMV-binding IgG (C) and IgA (D) titers, and CMV-binding IgG (E) and IgA (F) avidity. Antibody titers were normalized by total IgG or IgA content in milk or plasma. *P < .05. Abbreviation: ND, not detectable.
