Various HSV1 ELISA kit options are available that can streamline experiments for infectious disease research. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is an enveloped DNA virus that infects humans. Its 152-Kb genome is speculated to encode up to 84 unique proteins. HSV1 can persist latently within neurons undetected by the body's immune system to cause sporadic outbreaks. Acyclovir and valacyclovir are common antivirals used to mitigate HSV infection. ELISA kits for the detection of HSV1 antigens or antibodies generally come prepackaged with pre-coated strips or microplates and associated reagents. For more details, visit the supplier page.
