Description
Purified recombinant HSV2 gG protein
Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) are two members of the herpes virus family, Herpesviridae, that infect humans. Both HSV-1 (which produces cold sores) and HSV-2 (which produces genital herpes) are ubiquitous and contagious. They can be spread when an infected person is producing and shedding the virus. In the case of a herpes virus, initial interactions occur when a viral envelope glycoprotein called glycoproteinG (gG) binds to a cell surface particle called heparan sulfate
