Herpes Simplex Virus I Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Herpes simplex virus I (HSV-I) is a strain of the Herpes virus family, Herpesviridae, which cause infections in humans. The double stranded DNA genome is contained within an icosahedral capsid embedded in a proteinaceous layer (tegument) and surrounded by a lipid envelope, derived from the nuclear membrane of the last host, which is decorated with virus-specific glycoproteins spikes. HSV I causes a contagious disease, also known as cold sore, night fever, or fever blister. After an initial, or primary, infection, HSV establishes latency, during which the virus is present in the cell bodies of nerves which innervate the area of original outbreak. Herpes symptoms may periodically recur in the form of outbreaks of herpetic sores near the site of original infection. HSV I usually infects the non-genital mucosal surfaces, and Type II typically involves the genitalia. Either type may affect the skin or internal organs (typically brain, lung, liver, adrenal gland, or GI tract) of immunocompromised individuals.

Small volumes of anti-Herpes Simplex Virus I antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
