Preparation of HSV-2 antigens:HSV-2 is propagated in mammalian cells using a protocol optimized for maximum particle yield. At the appropriate time, infected cells are washed in saline then disrupted to release virus particles by freeze thaw and sonication.
Purification and presentation:PBS lysate: Virus particles released from cells are partially purified by low speed centrifugation to remove cell debris. HSV-2 particles are then purified by sucrose density gradients. This process also includes a DNase step to remove cellular DNA and helps to achieve a high purity.
Source:HSV-2, strain G, from a crude lysate.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Inactivation:0.1% Triton X-100. Tested by passage on permissive cells for 5 days yielding no CPE.
Storage and Stability:Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Note:No test guarantees a product to be non-infectious. All materials should be handled as if potentially infectious. Generally accepted laboratory practices appropriate for infectious materials should be employed when handling this product.
