Unlike other human herpesviruses, human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) infection can lead to integration of the viral genome in human chromosomes. When integration occurs in germinal cells, the integrated HHV-6A/B genome can be transmitted to 50% of ...

Evolutionary history of endogenous Human Herpesvirus 6 reflects human migration out of Africa [PDF]
Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6) can integrate into the germline, and as a result, ∼70 million people harbor the genome of one of these viruses in every cell of their body. Until now, it has been largely unknown if 1) these integrations are ancient, 2)

Telomeres and Telomerase: Role in Marek’s Disease Virus Pathogenesis, Integration and Tumorigenesis [PDF]
Telomeres protect the ends of vertebrate chromosomes from deterioration and consist of tandem nucleotide repeats (TTAGGG)n that are associated with a number of proteins.

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Malignancy: A Review [PDF]
In order to determine the role of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in human disease, several confounding factors, including methods of detection, types of controls, and the ubiquitous nature of the virus, must be considered.

HHV-6A infection induces amyloid-beta expression and activation of microglial cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The control of viral infections in the brain involves the activation of microglial cells, the macrophages of the brain that are constantly surveying the central nervous system, and the production of amyloid-beta (Aβ) as an anti-microbial ...

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 areonly three human herpesviruses that have been described: HHV-6A, HHV-6B, and HHV-7.

Characterization Of Higher Order Chromatin Structures And Chromatin States In Cell Models Of Human Herpesvirus Infection [PDF]
Human herpesviruses are ubiquitous pathogens worldwide with 90% of the global population infected with one or more Human herpesviruses (HHV’s) by adulthood. All herpesviruses have three unique life cycle stages.

Lymphoproliferative syndromes associated with human herpesvirus-6A and human herpesvirus-6B [PDF]
Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) have been noted since their discovery for their T-lymphotropism. Although it has proven difficult to determine the extent to which HHV-6A and HHV-6B are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases ...

Inherited chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6: demographics and disease [PDF]
Human herpesvirus (HHV) –6A and HHV-6B are unique among herpesviruses in their ability to integrate into the telomeres of human chromosomes and be inherited in a Mendelian fashion. Based on current data, inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6 (iciHHV-6)
