The IMAGEN™ Herpes Simplex Virus typing test is a qualitative direct immunofluorescence test for the detection and typing of HSV 1 and HSV 2 in cell cultures.

HSV is a common and universal infection of humans, associated with a wide range of clinical diseases in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Both HSV 1 and 2 are frequently implicated in localised vesicular infections of the skin, conjunctiva and mucous membranes of the mouth or genitalia1, 2,3.

Use IMAGEN Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Kit as a rapid, sensitive and specific method for the detection and differentiation of HSV1 and HSV2 isolates in cell culture monolayers.
