Abstract excerpt
Sequences of a 2.6- to 2.9-kb open reading frame in a putative immediate-early region of the human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) genome were determined and compared in three reference and six local isolates of HHV6. The sequences segregated into two variant groups (A and B) having only 75% nucleotide homology and 62% peptide homology, in part because of deletions in the variant A strains. Among the variant B isolates,...
