Orderable Test Description
This antibody cocktail reacts with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) type 1- or type 2-specific antigens and with antigens common to both types. The antibodies react with all the major glycoproteins present in the viral envelope and at least one core protein as determined by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Neither antibody cross-reacts with cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus. The cocktail is well suited for the detection of HSV in human cellular material obtained from superficial lesions or biopsies and for the early identification of HSV in infected tissue cultures.
