Protein Concentration

Description

gp 116/64/54(A&B-specific) 6A5G3 IFA titer: >1:1000 IHC: 1:250 to 1:300 Dilution: 1:500Protein Conc: 3.5 mg/ml This core protein has been most widely used in IHC on oral carcinoma, epilepsy, and MS infected tissues.  It reacts with both A and B variant infected cells.
gp110(A-specific) 2E2 IFA titer: 1:2560 IHC: 1:200 to 1:300 Dilution: 1:500Protein Conc: 3.5 mg/ml We have used this A-specific late antigen antibody on retina cells collected from HIV-1 positive patients. It detects cells replicating HHV-6A.
p98(B-specific) OHV-3 IFA titer: 1:4000 ELISA: 1:5000 IHC: 1:500Dilution: 1:200

Protein Conc: 2.0 mg/ml

Dr. Lautenschlager in Finland finds this antibody to be more useful than gp 116/64/54 in identifying reactivation of HHV-6B in PBMC’s of transplant patients and developed quantitative antigenemia, if it is a gH p98 protein.
OHV-1 (gB)(A&B-specific) OHV-1 IFA titer: 1:2560 IHC: not titered Dilution: 1:500Protein Conc: 3.5 mg/ml This mab is associated with viral replication and reacts with both A and B infected cells.
gp 82/105(A-specific) 2-D6 IFA titer: 1:2560 IHC: 1:200 to 1:400 Dilution: 1:500Protein Conc: 4.0 mg/ml This is a gQ protein antibody that we have used in tissues where we found viral replication of A.  This is a neutralizing mab for HHV-6A.
gp102  (late) 7A2 IFA titer: 1:1600 It reacts with A & B and in the cytoplasm of infected cells.
p180(A&B-specific) 4A6 IFA titer: 1:20 It reacts with A & B.
OHV-2(A&B-specific) OHV-2 IFA titer: 1:2560 It reacts with A & B.
HHV-6 LATENT ANTIBODIES
 Protein Name  Clone Name  Dilutions & Protein Concentration  Description
 U94  IFA titer: 1:200 WB: 1:1000 Protein Conc: 0.2 mg/ml  This is a latent gene of HHV-6 and reacts with HHV-6B
p37 IFA titer: >1:1000 IHC: 1:300 Protein Conc: 100 ug/uL

HHV-6 EARLY ANTIGEN ANTIBODIES

Protein Name

Clone Name

Dilutions &

Protein Concentration

Description

p41(A&B-specific) 9A5D12 Protein Conc: 2.5 mg/ml DNA polymerase processing protein, which appears before viral DNA synthesis. This antibody reacts in the nucleus of the cell.  Infected with HHV-6A and HHV-6B variants.  It appears 12 to 18 hours after infection.
p41/38(A-specific) C-5 IFA titer: 1:2560 IHC: 1:300 Dilution: 1:500Protein Conc: 4.0 mg/ml DNA polymerase processing protein, which appears before viral DNA synthesis. A-specific early antigen.  Reacts in the nucleus of the cell (similar to p41) but can also leak out into cytoplasm.

HHV-6 IMMEDIATE EARLY ANTIBODIES

Protein Concentration

Description

Intermediate earlyp6 H8 IE-2 IFA titer: 1:200 to 1:400 IHC: 1:10 to 1:20 Protein Conc: 1mg/mL Monoclonal IE-2, which is specific for HHV-6A.  It is also purified IgG from cell culture fluid.  This reacts with HHV-6A infected cells.

HHV-7 LATE ANTIBODIES

Protein Name

Clone Name

Dilutions &

Protein Concentration

Description

U27 11H8 IFA titer: 1:1000 It is specific for HHV-7 and It does not cross react with HHV-6.
KR4 KR4 IFA titer: 1:2560 It is specific for HHV-7 and It does not cross react with HHV-6.
*Please note that titers may vary, however we are giving the IFA titer of 1:1000 where intensity of IFA is + and at 1:500 it is 2 and 3+.  Also note that for IHC these are ESTIMATED dilutions.  Actual dilutions may vary depending on procedure and the type of tissue used.*

Notes:

  1. pMF228-14 under non-optimal hybridization conditions may hybridize non-specifically to human chromosomes.
  2. pMF402-27 is a replacement clone of pMF 2200-21 described in Reference 1 which was unstable. The pMF402-27 clone has a small deletion in the region described as unstable by Martin, et al. (Reference 2).
