Human Herpesvirus 6A DNA Is Detected Frequently in Plasma but Rarely in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes of Patients after Bone Marrow Transplantation
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was devised to determine the load of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A and -6B DNA in paired samples of plasma and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) of 25 bone marrow transplant patients. The assay detects HHV-6 DNA variants A and B in a linear range of 10(7)-10(1) genome equivalents per assay. Viral DNA was measured in 336 paired DNA PBL samples and in...
