Description:
HSV-1+2 IgM
An enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative and semiquantitative determination of IgM-class antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 + 2 in human serum and plasma.
Herpes simplex is an enveloped DNA virus (150-200 nm in diameter) belonging to the alphaherpesviridae. Based on antigenic, biochemical and biological differences it can be divided into two serotypes, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Man is the only known natural host and source of the virus. HSV-type 1 typically causes oral herpes, while HSV-type 2 typically affects the genital area. Most of the time, HSV-1 and HSV-2 are inactive, or ÒsilentÓ, and cause no symptoms, but some infected people have ÒoutbreaksÓ of blisters and ulcers. Once infected with HSV, people remain infected for life. Herpes simplex viruses are among the most common infectious agents of man, and either HSV type appears to be capable of infecting similar body sites. A high percentage of the adult population is seropositive (approx. 90% HSV-1 is dependent on socio-economic status, 10-30% HSV-2). Primary HSV-1 infection usually occurs in early childhood (6 to 18 months of age). HSV-2 usually produces mild symptoms, and most people have no recognized symptoms.
The DRG Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 + 2 IgM ELISA Kit is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Patient samples are diluted with Sample Diluent and additionally incubated with IgG-RF-Sorbent, containing hyper-immune anti-human IgG-class antibody to eliminate competitive inhibition from specific IgG and to remove rheumatoid factors. This pretreatment avoids false negative or false positive results.
