    • Relevance
      There are two main types of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), 1 and 2. The primary difference between the two types is in where they typically establish latency in the body. HSV1 usually establishes latency in the trigeminal ganglion, a collection of nerve cells near the ear. From there, it tends to recur on the lower lip or face causing cold sores. HSV2 usually resides in the sacral ganglion at the base of the spine. From there, it recurs in the genital area but even this difference is not absolute as in rare cases it can infect any part of the body, including the eyes. Up to 30% of genital herpes are also caused by HSV1. Both HSV1 and 2 are highly contagious through contact.

    What is the recommended dilution for using this as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA? What would be a better positive control for this? Glycoprotein D or G?

    Thank you for your enquiry. Antibody ab20922 has not been tested in sandwich ELISA. Testing of this HRP conjugate was performed against semi-purified HSV antigen coated on the microtiter plate. This is a polyclonal antibody and will recognize multi...
