Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) Inactivated Virus (CAT#: VLP-061YF)

Herpes simplex virus 2 stock is produced by cell culture and formulated with purified, intact viral particles. The virus particles have been chemically modified to render them non-infectious and refrigerator stable. The inactivation was verified in a standard microbiological growth protocol. HSV-2 stock can be used in the development of HSV-2 diagnostics and in vaccine development and R&D.

Virus Background

  • Virus Family
  • Herpesviridae
  • Virus Species
  • Herpes simplex virus 2
  • Virus Overview
  • The structure of herpes viruses consists of a relatively large, double-stranded, linear DNA genome encased within an icosahedral protein cage called the capsid, which is wrapped in a lipid bilayer called the envelope. The envelope is joined to the capsid by means of a tegument. This complete particle is known as the virion. HSV-1 and HSV-2 each contain at least 74 genes within their genomes, although speculation over gene crowding allows as many as 84 unique protein coding genes by 94 putative ORFs. These genes encode a variety of proteins involved in forming the capsid, tegument and envelope of the virus, as well as controlling the replication and infectivity of the virus.
