Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV 1) Antigen

Sourced through Antibodies.com, this native HSV 1 reagent is supplied as a 1 mg aliquot of liquid preparation intended for use in ELISA workflows. The conjugate status is unconjugated, and the antigen is presented in a 50 mM Glycine, pH 9 buffer containing 140 mM NaCl, a formulation that is widely used for native viral antigens to preserve particle integrity. The target is Herpes Simplex Virus 1, and although material has been inactivated, it should still be handled as potentially infectious and treated using standard biosafety precautions. Validated application is ELISA, making this antigen suitable for serology assay development, plate coating for IgG/IgM detection, and use as a positive control in diagnostic kit manufacturing. The product is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic applications. For long-term stability, the liquid preparation is best stored frozen, typically at -80 °C, with aliquoting recommended to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles; brief sonication immediately before use helps to ensure a uniform suspension of viral particles. Researchers working on HSV-1 epidemiology, vaccine development, or ToRCH screening panels will find this reagent a reliable building block for assay standardization, and the 1 mg pack size provides ample material for multiple ELISA plate coating runs or for use across parallel experimental conditions.
