About Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) Glycoprotein G (gG) Recombinant Protein

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) is an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the genus Simplexvirus in the family Herpesviridae. Glycoprotein G (gG) is an envelope glycoprotein that contributes to virus-host interactions and modulation of the host immune response. Unlike most HSV envelope glycoproteins, HSV-2 gG contains type-specific epitopes with minimal cross-reactivity to HSV-1, making it one of the most important antigens for HSV-2 serological diagnosis, epidemiological studies, and vaccine research.

eEnzyme's HSV-2 Glycoprotein G (gG) Recombinant Protein is produced for research use and is suitable for antibody screening, ELISA development, Western blotting, epitope mapping, immunological studies, and HSV-2 diagnostic assay development. This recombinant protein provides a valuable reagent for investigating HSV-2-specific immune responses, virus-host interactions, and the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and antiviral therapeutics.

Applications

Biological Significance of HSV-2 Glycoprotein G

HSV-2 gG is a unique viral envelope glycoprotein that plays important roles in virus-host interactions and immune modulation. Because it contains HSV-2-specific antigenic determinants that distinguish HSV-2 infection from HSV-1, recombinant gG has become the antigen of choice for type-specific serological assays. The HSV-2 Glycoprotein G (gG) Recombinant Protein provides a valuable research tool for studies of HSV biology, diagnostic assay development, immune responses, and vaccine research.
