VZV ELISA kits are available from several suppliers for investigations on infectious disease. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus that causes chickenpox, or varicella. It is within the herpesvirus family and is also known as human alphaherpesvirus 3 (HHV-3). The genome is approximately 125 kilobases in length and contains 70 predicted genes. VZV and HSV are closely related. The virus replicates in the lungs and can latently persist in the nerves. ELISA kits for the detection of VZV antigens or antibodies generally come prepackaged with pre-coated strips or microplates and associated reagents. For more details, visit the supplier page.
