Abstract excerpt
Glycoprotein B (gB) and glycoprotein H (gH) of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) are believed to play an important role in virus entry and as targets for host immune response. This study examined the genetic diversity of these glycoproteins among 90 HHV-7 isolates collected from different individuals in Hong Kong. Overall, both the gB and gH genes were found to be highly conserved. Nucleotide polymorphism was detected...
