Detection of HHV-6 genotypes by in situ hybridization with variant-specific oligonucleotide probes.

Abstract excerpt

Human herpesvirus-6 exists in two forms, HHV-6A which has not been clearly associated with any disease, and HHV-6B, the causative agent of exanthem subitum. The two variants have been distinguished by techniques such as dot blotting and restriction fragment length polymorphism of PCR products. This study aims to establish the prevalence of HHV-6A and HHV-6B in carcinoma tissues using variant-specific...
