Herpes Simplex Virus Types-1/2 (HSV-1&2) antibody

Antigen: Herpes Simplex Virus Types-1/2 (HSV-1&2)

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Catalog no.: ABIN197750

Additional Information

Alternative name: Herpes Simplex Virus Type I & II (HSV I & II)

Immunogen: Whole rabbit corneal cells, infected with herpes simplex virus type I (strain Mac Intyre) and type II (strain M5), were solublized with detergent.

Format: Liquid (prediluted)

Specificity: This antibody reacts with HSV type I and II specific antigens and with antigens common to HSV type I and II virus. It reacts with all the major glycoproteins present in the viral envelop as well as with at least one core protein.

Application Details

Application Notes: Staining Protocol: We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation conditions should be determined by the user. Suitable for formalin/paraffin tissues. Positive Control: Infected tissue. Cellular localization: Cytoplasmic, nuclear

Concentration: 1 to 4 ug/ml

Buffer: This antibody has been pretitered and quality controlled to work on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded as well as acetone fixed cryostat tissue sections. No further titration is required.

Storage: Store the antibody at 2-8o c. Do not use it beyond the expiration date stated on the label.

Restrictions: For Research Use. CE-certified for In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Use in the European Union
