HSV-1 ICP0 Antibody (5H7) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects ICP0 of HSV-1 by western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-ICP0 antibody (5H7) plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of herpes simplex virus infection, as ICP0 is a general transactivator essential for the expression of all three classes of HSV genes. ICP0 is primarily located in the nucleus of infected cells, where ICP0 orchestrates viral gene expression necessary for the transition from latency to lytic replication. Nuclear localization of ICP0 is vital because ICP0 interacts with host cellular machinery and manipulates the transcriptional landscape to favor viral replication. ICP0 disrupts the human BHC corepressor complex, which is crucial for silencing viral DNA, thereby facilitating the reactivation of latent HSV. Additionally, ICP0′s interaction with human centromere protein CENP-A leads to CENP-A degradation, further underscoring ICP0′s role in modulating host cell functions to benefit viral propagation. ICP0 monoclonal antibody (5H7) enables researchers to gain insights into the mechanisms of HSV pathogenesis and the intricate interplay between viral proteins and host cellular processes.
