DNA Sensors’ Signaling in NK Cells During HHV-6A, HHV-6B and HHV-7 Infection [PDF]
ObjectivesThe host DNA sensor proteins TLR9, STING, IFI16 are central signaling molecules that control the innate immune response to cytosolic nucleic acids. Here we propose to investigate how Natural killer (NK) cell infection by human herpesvirus (HHV)-

Differential Impacts of HHV-6A versus HHV-6B Infection in Differentiated Human Neural Stem Cells [PDF]
Within the family Herpesviridae, sub-family β-herpesvirinae, and genus Roseolovirus, there are only three human herpesviruses that have been described: HHV-6A, HHV-6B, and HHV-7.

HHV-6B detection and host gene expression implicate HHV-6B as pulmonary pathogen after hematopoietic cell transplant [PDF]
Limited understanding of the immunopathogenesis of human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) has prevented its acceptance as a pulmonary pathogen after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).

A Sensitive Quantification of HHV-6B by Real-time PCR [PDF]
Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6B is a pathogen causing latent infection in virtually all humans. Nevertheless, the interaction of HHV-6B with its host cells is poorly understood. Although HHV-6B is approximately 90% homologous to HHV-6A, it expresses certain B-

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

A viral APOBEC3 antagonist distinguishes HHV-6A from HHV-6B [PDF]
Human herpesviruses exhibit diverse pathogenic outcomes and the molecular reasons are not fully understood. Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) causes exanthema subitum and encephalitis, whereas the closely related HHV-6A is typically asymptomatic.

Case Report: Inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6B in a pediatric medulloblastoma patient with encephalitis [PDF]
BackgroundHuman herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) is associated with various central nervous system (CNS) disorders, particularly in immunocompromised patients. We present a rare case of inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6B (iciHHV-6B), also referred to as ...

Quantitative HHV-6B antigenemia test for the monitoring of transplant patients [PDF]
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) infection, mostly caused by variant B, is common after transplantation. Here, we report a new modified method using an HHV-6B glycoprotein IgG antibody, OHV-3, and attempt to quantify the HHV-6 antigenemia after liver transplantation.

Characterization of the HHV-6B U20 Immunoevasin. [PDF]
The roseolovirus U20 proteins are virus-encoded integral membrane glycoproteins possessing class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-like folds. Surprisingly, although U20 proteins from HHV-6A and -6B share 92% identity, recent studies ascribe different functions to HHV6A U20 and HHV6B U20.

Persistent viremia in an immunocompetent patient with inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6B. [PDF]
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), the virus which causes roseola, has traditionally been associated with benign and self-limited childhood illness. However, HHV-6 establishes lifelong latency and can reactivate in immunocompromised adult patients. In about 1% of cases, it integrates into the human genome as inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6 (iciHHV-6)
