Herpes simplex virus is a widespread human pathogen, which is infected by about 80% of adults. It can cause recurrent skin, oral cavity, lip, eye and genital herpes, locally manifested as painful vesicles filled with liquid. Herpes simplex virus infection shows a high degree of intercellular variability at the single-cell level, which affects the infection process to a great extent. Therefore, it is very important to visually analyze the infection process of herpes simplex virus.

Herpes Simplex Virus Infection Imaging Analysis

Direct immunofluorescence is a method for identifying different proteins on the surface of the virus. It only requires one binding step, is the primary antibody is directly bound to the fluorescent label. The simplicity of direct immunofluorescence makes it a useful tool for initial disease diagnosis and monitoring treatment effects. In addition, it can be used for imaging analysis and quantification of virus content, including its intracellular location and its effect on cell morphology.

CD BioSciences has been committed to the research and development of fluorescent dyes and live cell imaging technology for many years. We will use digital wide-field microscopy and direct immunofluorescence to provide you with imaging analysis services for the infection process of herpes simplex virus.
