Anti-Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV 1-ICP4) Antibody

The Antibodies.com mouse monoclonal binds the HSV-1 ICP4 immediate-early protein, a ~175 kDa transcriptional activator that governs lytic-cycle gene expression and serves as a reliable marker of active herpesvirus replication in infected cells. The reagent is supplied as 100 µg of purified IgG1(k) antibody in unconjugated format and is validated for ELISA, Western blot (WB), and immunofluorescence assay (IFA). It is commonly used to monitor ICP4 induction in HSV-1 infected cell cultures, study latency-to-reactivation transitions, and screen antiviral compounds in vitro under research use only conditions. Suggested handling: keep refrigerated for short-term use and aliquot before freezing to minimize freeze-thaw impact on antibody performance across multiple experiments.
