Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV 2) Extract Ag

This viral antigen preparation from Antibodies.com is derived from Herpes Simplex Virus 2 and is supplied as a 1 ml liquid extract for use as a positive control or detection reagent in immunoassay workflows. It is validated for ELISA and Western Blot (WB) applications, supporting serology studies, antibody screening, and diagnostic assay development targeting HSV 2 viral proteins.

The extract is intended for research use only and provides consistent antigen content for laboratories working on herpesvirus immunology, vaccine research, or clinical sample screening. As an extract preparation, it contains the native mix of HSV 2 structural and non-structural proteins that drive humoral immune responses in infected hosts, making it useful for both IgG and IgM detection workflows.

For best results, the liquid antigen can be aliquoted to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles and preserve epitope integrity across multiple experiments. Researchers commonly pair this reagent with secondary antibodies and conjugate systems optimized for herpesvirus detection in patient samples.
