Herpes Simplex Virus Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JC-BE-5227
The Herpes Simplex Virus Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model depicting the structure of herpes simplex virus (HSV), a widely studied member of the herpesvirus family. Designed for microbiology and virology laboratories, this herpes simplex virus teaching model illustrates the layered viral architecture shared across the herpesvirus group.
Herpes simplex virus has an icosahedral capsid enclosing a linear, double-stranded DNA genome. Surrounding the capsid is the tegument, a protein-rich layer characteristic of herpesviruses that contains proteins important for initiating infection once the virus enters a host cell, and the outermost lipid envelope carries viral glycoproteins that mediate attachment to host cells. There are two main types, HSV-1, generally associated with oral herpes, and HSV-2, generally associated with genital herpes, both of which are capable of establishing latent infection in sensory nerve ganglia, from which the virus can periodically reactivate. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents this structure enlarged for classroom study.
