Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV 1) Extract Ag

Viral lysates from Herpes Simplex Virus 1 propagated in cell culture form the basis of this extract antigen preparation distributed by Antibodies.com. The 1 ml lyophilized aliquot delivers a complex mixture of HSV-1 structural and non-structural proteins, including envelope glycoproteins such as gB and gD, alongside capsid and tegument components, making it suitable as a coating or capture reagent in immunoassay development.

Researchers commonly deploy this antigen in ELISA protocols to screen human or animal samples for HSV-1 specific IgG and IgM reactivity, and in Western blot workflows to confirm antibody specificity or characterize monoclonal candidates. Because the material is lyophilized, it provides long-term stability, and can be reconstituted in a small volume of buffer immediately before bench use. The product is intended for research use only and should be handled under standard biosafety precautions appropriate for a Risk Group 2 herpesvirus-derived material.
