The following statement(s) is/are true concerning newer detection methods of systemic infection.
A. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a rapid immunologic assay used for both antigen and antibody detection
B. Southern, northern, and western immunoblot techniques are used to detect DNA, RNA, or proteins, respectively
C. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a sensitive assay used to detect small amounts of microbial DNA, thus detecting infection at its early stages
D. Infectious agents currently detected using advanced molecular techniques include cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
