Herpes Simplex Virus 2, Glycoprotein G, Recombinant, His-Tag (HSV-2)

Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) belongs to Herpesviridae, a family of viruses with several members that invade the human nervous system, causing a variety of illnesses including cold sores, chickenpox, shingles and various cancers. Herpes viruses may also cause encephalitis or infectious corneal blindness. HSV is transmitted during close contact with an infected person who is shedding virus from the skin, in saliva or in secretions from the genitals and commonly persists in latent infection.||Recombinant protein corresponding to Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2), containing the gG-2 prepared by expressing the gene US4 from HSV-2, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli. ||Molecular Weight: |~35.8kD (Calculated), ~66.2kD (SDS-PAGE) ||Applications: |Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
