Evolutionary analysis of exogenous and integrated HHV-6A/HHV-6B populations. [PDF]

Virus Evol, 2020
AbstractHuman betaherpesviruses 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) are highly prevalent in human populations. The genomes of these viruses can be stably integrated at the telomeres of human chromosomes and be vertically transmitted (inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6A/HHV-6B, iciHHV-6A/iciHHV-6B).

Endogenous human herpesviruses 6A/B [PDF]

Journal of Virology
Human herpesviruses 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) can integrate into the germline, resulting in inherited viral DNA—now proposed to be called “endogenous HHV-6A/B (eHHV-6A/B).” Present in 0.2–3% of humans, this integrated DNA is passed to offspring and may ...

Investigation of Inherited Chromosomally Integrated Human Herpesvirus-6A+ and -6B+ in a Patient with Ulipristal Acetate-Induced Fulminant Hepatic Failure

Viruses, 2021
Inherited chromosomally integrated (ici) human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) is estimated to occur in 0.6–2.7% of people worldwide. HHV-6 comprises two distinct species: HHV-6A and HHV-6B. Both HHV-6A and HHV-6B integration have been reported. Several drugs are

A complex evolutionary relationship between HHV-6A and HHV-6B.

Virus Evol, 2019
Human betaherpesviruses 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) are highly prevalent in human populations. The genomes of these viruses can be stably integrated at the telomeres of human chromosomes and be vertically transmitted (inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6, iciHHV6). We reconstructed the population structure of HHV-6 and we show that HHV-6A genomes

Classification of HHV-6A and HHV-6B as distinct viruses. [PDF]

Arch Virol, 2014
Shortly after the discovery of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), two distinct variants, HHV-6A and HHV-6B, were identified. In 2012, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) classified HHV-6A and HHV-6B as separate viruses. This review outlines several of the documented epidemiological, biological, and immunological distinctions between HHV-

Human Herpesvirus 6A Is a Risk Factor for Multiple Sclerosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The role for human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A or HHV-6B in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis has been controversial. Possibly because the damage of the virus infection may occur before onset of clinical symptoms and because it has been difficult to detect ...

gp96 Is Critical for both Human Herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) and HHV-6B Infections. [PDF]

J Virol, 2020
Although new clinical importance has been revealed for human herpesviruses 6A (HHV-6A) and 6B, much is still unknown about the life cycles of these viruses in target cells. We identified a novel cellular factor, gp96, that is critical for both HHV-6A and -6B entry into host cells.

Anti-human herpesvirus 6A/B IgG correlates with relapses and progression in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
To analyze the titers of the IgG and IgM antibodies against human herpesvirus 6A/B (HHV-6A/B) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients treated with different disease modified therapies (DMTs) along two-years of follow-up.We collected 2163 serum samples from ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...
