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...
