Question:

Are any of the monoclonal antibodies developed against HSV type 2 proteins suitable for immunoprecipitation?

Resolution:

The only HSV-2 antibody that has been tested via IP is the HA018 ICP5 antibody. It was used at 10 µg/ml and was precipitated with protein-G sepharose.

It is probable that others work also, we just have not chosen IP as one of the methodologies to regularly validate.
