Anti-Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2 (HSV 1 & 2-ICP5) Antibody

This Mouse monoclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets the ICP5 immediate-early protein of Herpes Simplex Virus types 1 and 2, a conserved viral capsid component widely used as a marker of HSV infection in infected cells and tissues. The reagent is supplied as a purified IgG2b(lambda) immunoglobulin at 100 µg per vial, unconjugated to allow flexible pairing with secondary reporters in custom assay workflows.

The antibody has been validated for ELISA, immunofluorescence (IFA), and Western blot (WB), supporting both quantitative antigen detection and localization studies. Because HSV-1 and HSV-2 share the ICP5 epitope, a single reagent covers both serotypes in virology research, vaccine development, and diagnostic assay optimization.

For storage, the vial should be kept refrigerated and protected from repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity; aliquoting upon first use is recommended for long-term studies.
