Due to the current stigma of the herpes simplex virus, the topic of a cure has always been considered a "taboo" whilst some also consider the symptoms to be mild that a cure or a vaccine is not needed. However, in April 2020, a subreddit group, r/HerpesCureResearch was formed to advocate for cure research and better treatment of HSV. The ...
There are two types of herpes simplex virus, type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). [1] HSV-1 more commonly causes infections around the mouth while HSV-2 more commonly causes genital infections. [2] They are transmitted by direct contact with body fluids or lesions of an infected individual. [1] Transmission may still occur when symptoms are not ...
HSV-2 seroprevalence in pregnant women between the ages of 15 and 44 in British Columbia is similar, with 57% having antibodies for HSV-1 and 13% having antibodies for HSV-2. [3] In British Columbia in 1999, the seroprevalence of HSV-2 antibody in leftover serum submitted for antenatal testing revealed a prevalence of 17.3%, ranging from 7.1% ...
The water-accessible surface area of an IgG antibody. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody. Representing approximately 75% of serum antibodies in humans, IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. [1] IgG molecules are created and released by plasma B cells. Each IgG antibody has two paratopes.
Immunoglobulin therapy is the use of a mixture of antibodies (normal human immunoglobulin) to treat several health conditions. [13] [14] These conditions include primary immunodeficiency, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, Kawasaki disease, certain cases of HIV/AIDS and measles, Guillain–Barré syndrome, and certain other infections when a ...
Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans. [1] [2] Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are very common and contagious. They can be spread when an infected person begins shedding the virus.
Genital herpes is a herpes infection of the genitals caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). [1] Most people either have no or mild symptoms and thus do not know they are infected. [ 1 ] When symptoms do occur, they typically include small blisters that break open to form painful ulcers . [ 1 ]
The four known IgG subclasses are involved in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. [2] Antibodies are a key component of the adaptive immune response , playing a central role in both in the recognition of foreign antigens and the stimulation of an immune response to them.
