Avoid hemolysis. Contaminated, icteric, lipemic, hemolyzed or heat inactivated sera may cause erroneous results and should be avoided.
Collection Comments
Sera may be stored under refrigeration (2-8°C) for up to 7 days. For longer storage of samples, keep at -20°C or colder.

Reference Interval
<0.9 AI = Negative
Clinical Interpretation
This test is used to detect and differentiate antibodies to herpes subtypes 1 and 2. The test system utilyzes defined regions of gG1 and gG2 glycoproteins to specifically recognize the presence or absence of each antibody. Samples collected too early in the course of infection may not have detectable levels of HSV IgG.
