HSV I/II
Also known as: HSV1/2, Herpes Simplex 1 Antigen, HSV1, Herpes Simplex 2 Antigen, HSV2
Use
This immunohistochemistry (IHC) antibody cocktail detects both herpes simplex virus type I and type II antigens. It reacts with major glycoproteins in the viral envelope and at least one core protein, without cross‑reacting with cytomegalovirus or Epstein‑Barr virus. It is well suited for detecting HSV in superficial lesions or biopsies and early identification in infected tissue cultures.
