Summary & Explanation
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Herpes simplex virus II is a strain of the Herpes virus family, Herpesviridae, which causes infections in humans. The double stranded DNA genome is contained within an icosahedral capsid embedded in a proteinaceous layer (tegument) and surrounded by a lipid envelope, derived from the nuclear membrane of the last host, which is decorated with virus-specific glycoprotein spikes. Herpes Simplex Virus II typically involves the genitalia, and may also affect skin or internal organs such as the brain, lung, liver, adrenal gland, or gastrointestinal tract of immunocompromised individuals."}]}]}
Presentation
Five slides of Herpes Simplex Virus II positive tissues, each mounted on Hydrophilic Plus Slides, provided in a plastic mailer.
Principle of Procedure
Control slides are Hydrophilic Plus Slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or cell sections mounted on them, serving as a tool to qualitatively verify the performance of immunohistochemical staining
