HSV 1+2 IgG ELISA Kit (Herpes Simplex Virus 1+2)

Full Name: HSV 1+2 IgG ELISA Kit (Herpes Simplex Virus 1+2)
Reactivity: Human
Sample Type: Serum, Plasma
Sensitivity: 1.2 U/ml

BACKGROUND

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 belong to the Herpesviridae family and are found to produce infection which can differ from mild stomatitis to disseminated and fatal disease. The infections caused by HSV 1 and 2 are known to differ greatly in their severity and clinical manifestations. Some of the clinical conditions that have been linked with HSV infection include disseminated primary infection, vesicular skin eruptions, keratitis, gingivostomatitis, aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, genital tract infections and neonatal herpes.

HSV-1 is usually closely linked with orolabial infection but there is also evidence of genital infection among certain populations. Whereas, HSV-2 has been found to cause primarily urogenital infections and is usually exclusively only occurring in adults. The diagnosis of the infection is routinely made based on clinical findings and supported by laboratory testing using PCR or viral culture. For typing indirect immunofluorescence or Western blots can be performed. The diagnosis of the primary infection can be identified by a significant elevation of IgG within 6 to 10 days following infection.

INTENDED USE

Human HSV 1+2 IgG ELISA kit is intended for in-vitro detection of human IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 IgG, HSV-2 IgG, HSV 1+2 IgG) in plasma or serum. This assay has a minimum analytical sensitivity limit of 1.2 U/ml.

CONTENT

All reagents supplied need to be stored at 2 °C – 8 °C, unopened reagents will retain reactivity until expiration date. Do not use reagents beyond this date.

SENSITIVITY

The minimum detection sensitivity level of human IgG antibodies directed against herpes simplex virus 1+2 (HSV 1+2 IgG, HSV-1 IgG and HSV-2 IgG) using current HSV 1+2 IgG ELISA kit was 1.2 U/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 1.0 – 200.0 U/ml.

Your secretory IgA ELISA gave good results and I was also really impressed with how quickly we received it.

L. Johnston
PhD Student / University of Glasgow

It is refreshing to know that you have a technical team that is very knowledgeable. I have already recommended your company to other researchers in our department.

I am a first time user and found that your instruction manual was very easy to follow. The insulin ELISA assay performed well and I was happy with the results that were generated.

J. Thomas
Senior Technician / Addenbrooke’s Hospital

I carried out a pilot study comparing the performance of many ELISA assay's from different suppliers and found your kits to be one of the better performers. We observed good linearity and tight replicates.
