Description

Herpes Simplex Virus Protein Icp18.5 is a specific viral protein derived from the Herpes Simplex Virus, identified by CAS No. 139381-88-7. This protein is a critical reagent for advanced virology research, vaccine development, and diagnostic assay calibration. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and academic research institutions focused on virology and immunology.

Application

• Research Reagent: Used as a key antigen in fundamental virology studies to understand Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) replication and protein function.
• Diagnostic Development: Serves as a critical standard and coating antigen in the development and validation of ELISA and other immunoassays for HSV detection.
• Vaccine Research: Employed in immunological studies and as a target antigen in the research and development of novel HSV vaccines and therapeutic antibodies.
• Antiviral Drug Screening: Used in high-throughput screening assays to identify and evaluate potential compounds that inhibit specific viral protein interactions.
• Quality Control: Acts as a reference standard for the quality control of other HSV-related biological products and diagnostic kits.

Quality Control

Our Herpes Simplex Virus Protein Icp18.5 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assessment by HPLC and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and reliability for research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, biological activity (where applicable), and endotoxin levels is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store frozen at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccated environment before opening.
