title: A related epitope is consistently present on glycoprotein C of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody (VE8) directed to glycoprotein C of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) cross-reacted with all HSV type 2 (HSV-2) strains tested. Positive reaction was also observed with all investigated HSV-1 strains, indicating that the related epitope is consistently present in HSV-1 and HSV-2.
