When approximately 90% of adults worldwide carry at least one type of herpes virus (such as HSV, EBV, and CMV), tools for the accurate detection and research of these "latent pathogens" become the core competitiveness in virology research. As a brand under the LGC Group focusing on virology reagents, Virusys has established itself as a reliable partner for researchers unraveling the mysteries of herpes viruses, backed by its strong capabilities—offering over 70 highly specific monoclonal antibodies and having one-third of its products featured in academic journals.

Herpes viruses are a group of enveloped double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to the Herpesviridae family. To date, more than 100 types of herpes viruses have been identified. Herpes viruses associated with human infections are referred to as Human Herpesviruses (HHV). Based on their genetic structure, homology, and related characteristics, human herpes viruses are classified into three subfamilies: Alphaherpesvirinae, Betaherpesvirinae, and Gammaherpesvirinae. Among them, HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV belong to the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily; HCMV, HHV-6, and HHV-7 belong to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily; and EBV and HHV-8 belong to the Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily. These viruses can cause a variety of diseases, ranging from common oral and genital herpes to severe congenital infections and certain types of cancer. Understanding these viruses is conducive to better research on their biological characteristics, pathogenic mechanisms, and the development of corresponding therapeutic methods.

1. Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a major pathogen that widely infects humans, mainly classified into two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Its infection can cause a variety of diseases, ranging from oral herpes to severe encephalitis. An in-depth understanding of the HSV life cycle is the foundation for developing effective diagnostic methods and intervention strategies.

HSV infection relies on a series of key proteins, among which envelope glycoproteins (such as gD, gB, gC, gE, gG, and gH/gL) are core targets. Specifically, gD is responsible for initiating binding to host receptors and serves as the primary target of neutralizing antibodies; while gB, due to its high conservation, has become a preferred target for the development of vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. Immediate-early proteins (such as ICP0 and ICP4) act as "switches" for viral gene expression—their presence marks the onset of viral infection and represents important potential targets for antiviral drug screening.

Targeting these core molecules, Virusys offers a range of validated, high-quality HSV antibodies. Whether for glycoprotein research aimed at uncovering viral entry mechanisms, or for the detection of immediate-early proteins during the early stage of viral replication, our products provide accurate recognition, flexible application, and reliable data support. We are committed to accelerating your research in the fields of vaccine development, diagnostic tool creation, and pathogenic mechanism exploration.

2. Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV)

Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) is a highly contagious human herpesvirus that can cause primary infection (varicella, commonly known as chickenpox) and reactivation of latent virus in the body (herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles).

Virusys’ VZV antibody library focuses on the glycoprotein family essential for viral replication. Glycoprotein E (gE) is the most abundant envelope glycoprotein of VZV, which dominates viral cell-to-cell spread and immune evasion; while glycoprotein B (gB), as a key fusion protein, plays an irreplaceable role in the initial steps of viral entry into host cells.

Targeting key molecules such as gE and gB, Virusys provides validated VZV antibodies with high specificity. These antibodies can not only accurately localize the site of latent viral infection through techniques like immunofluorescence but also have become powerful visualization tools for uncovering the "latency-reactivation" switching mechanism of the virus and advancing related diagnostics and research.

3. Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpesvirus that is highly prevalent in the human population but typically asymptomatic. However, it can cause severe diseases in immunocompromised individuals and newborns with congenital infections.

Virusys’ CMV antibodies target different stages of the viral life cycle (e.g., latency, immediate-early, late stages). The late antigen pp65 (UL83) is a key marker of active viral replication, and its expression in the late stage of infection serves as a core observation window for clinical diagnosis and research.

Targeting this critical molecule, Virusys provides high-quality CMV antibodies, represented by the CH12 antibody. As the "gold standard" for clinical antigenemia testing, this antibody can accurately localize viral assembly sites. Thanks to its unique unconjugated design, Virusys’ antibody has been widely cited in numerous top-tier scientific journals worldwide. Whether for research on congenital CMV infections or exploration of CMV replication mechanisms, it is a reliable tool you can trust.

4. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus with extremely widespread infection. It is not only a common cause of infectious mononucleosis but also closely associated with various malignant tumors such as multiple types of lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

During the pathogenic process of EBV, the immediate-early protein Ea-D serves as the "master switch" of the viral lytic cycle and is key to uncovering viral reactivation and exploring pathogenic mechanisms.

With high specificity, Virusys-brand EBV antibodies can accurately recognize Ea-D, making them reliable tools for your research on EBV infection diagnosis, viral reactivation mechanisms, and oncogenic mechanisms.
