Herpes Simplex virus 1/2 gD / FITC / A18S

Product Details

Description	Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 + 2 gD Monoclonal Antibody, FITC conjugate (A18S). Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a virus that manifests itself in two common viral infections. There are actually two types of the Herpes Simplex Virus, HSV1 and HSV2. These are very similar in many ways, and can both cause either oral herpes or genital herpes. HSV1- most commonly develops into Oral Herpes infecting the lips (fever blisters or cold sores). HSV1 can also infect the genital area causing sores to develop. HSV2- generally infects the genital area (Genital Herpes); however, HSV2 can also infect the mouth.ELISA 1:5-1:20, IF 1:5-1:20

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
