Real Time PCR Detection Kit Panel Human Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Panel Human Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Herpes simplex is a viral disease from the Herpesviridae family caused by both virus types 1 and 2. Infection with the herpes virus is categorized into one of several distinct disorders based on the site of infection. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores or fever blisters, is an infection of the face or mouth. Oral herpes is the most common form of infection. Genital herpes, known simply as herpes, is the second most common form of herpes. Other disorders such as herpetic whitlow, herpes gladiatorum, ocular herpes, cerebral herpes infection encephalitis, Mollaret’s meningitis, neonatal herpes, and possibly Bell’s palsy are all caused by herpes simplex viruses. Following active infection, herpes viruses establish a latent infection in sensory and autonomic ganglia of the nervous system. The double-stranded DNA of the virus is incorporated into the cell physiology by infection of the nucleus of a nerve’s cell body. HSV latency is static, no virus is produced, and is controlled by several viral genes, including Latency Associated Transcript (LAT).
