Anti-Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV 1) Antibody

This goat polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com targets Herpes Simplex Virus 1 envelope and capsid antigens and is supplied as a purified Ig fraction in a 500 µl vial. The unconjugated antibody is suited to immunofluorescence (IFA) staining of infected cell monolayers, Western blot detection of viral polypeptides from lysates of Vero or Hep-2 infected cells, and ELISA-based serology workflows. Because the host species is goat, detection requires an anti-goat IgG secondary reagent labeled with HRP, FITC, or another reporter. The polyclonal format allows recognition of multiple HSV 1 epitopes, which is helpful when screening viral isolates or characterizing glycoprotein D (gD) and glycoprotein B (gB) expression in vitro. Useful for diagnostic virology laboratories, academic infectious disease research, and vaccine development workflows that need a flexible primary reagent for HSV 1 antigen detection.
