Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a double stranded DNA, enveloped virus, 110nm to 120nm in diameter. The icosahedral viral capsid is assembled in the host cell nucleus followed by the virus acquiring its envelope by budding through the nuclear membrane at sites modified by the addition of viral protein. The HSV genome encodes over 50 polypeptides, including 9 glycoproteins (gB to gJ), at least 6 capsid proteins, viral protein kinase and DNA polymerase. There are two serotypes, HSV type 1 and HSV type 2 that can be differentiated on the basis of antigenicity of glycoprotein gG. The serotypes have approximately 40% homology leading to antigenic cross reactivity.
