Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) Antigen

This VZV antigen reagent from Antibodies.com is intended for immunoassay workflows targeting Varicella-Zoster Virus, the pathogen responsible for chickenpox and shingles. Supplied as a 1 mg liquid formulation, the preparation supports ELISA plate coating for the detection of virus-specific IgG and IgM antibodies in clinical and research samples. Beyond standard serology assays, the antigen can serve as a positive control in immunofluorescence and western blot protocols, or as an immunogen in studies of B-cell responses following natural exposure or vaccination. The ready-to-use liquid format eliminates reconstitution steps required by lyophilized reagents, allowing direct dilution into coating buffer. Researchers investigating vaccine immunogenicity, antiviral therapeutics, or population-level seroprevalence can rely on this antigen for both diagnostic assay development and basic virology studies of lytic and latent VZV infection.
