Abstract excerpt
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV6) is a lymphotropic virus genetically related to human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and for which two variants, A and B, have been distinguished. Human CMV is usually cultivated with human fibroblasts (HF). The lack of cell lines useful for HHV6 isolation and propagation led us to investigate whether HHV6 variants A and B could infect HFs as CMV does. Isolates of HHV6 variants A and B were used...
