Disease relevance of Herpesvirus 6, Human

 

Psychiatry related information on Herpesvirus 6, Human

  • Our results demonstrate that undifferentiated HM were highly resistant to HHV-6 infection, whereas HM pretreated with human recombinant IL-15 showed an increased permissiveness for HHV-6 infection [6].
 

High impact information on Herpesvirus 6, Human

  • CD46 is a cellular receptor for human herpesvirus 6 [7].
  • Given the ubiquitous nature of this virus and the challenging precedent of correlating antiviral antibodies with disease association, these antibody studies have been supported by the detection of HHV-6 DNA from samples of MS serum as a marker of active viral infection [1].
  • In addition to fresh T cells, HBLV was able to infect normal T lymphocytes expanded in vitro with IL-2 for greater than 30 d [8].
  • IL-15 protein synthesis was increased in response to HHV-6 [9].
  • Furthermore, NK activation by HHV-6 was blocked with mAb to CD122, as well as by human anti-HHV-6 neutralizing antibodies [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Herpesvirus 6, Human

 

Biological context of Herpesvirus 6, Human

  • Downregulation of surface CD46 was documented during the course of HHV-6 infection [7].
  • These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the U94 gene product of HHV-6 regulates viral gene expression and enables the establishment and/or maintenance of latent infection in lymphoid cells [15].
  • Two sensitive polymerase chain reaction assays were used to target different regions within the HHV-6 genome [16].
  • During the course of HHV-6 infection, analysis of the surface membrane phenotype of the T cell populations and clones revealed a progressive decline in the expression of the CD3/TCR complex, whereas other T cell-associated markers (e.g., CD2) were unaffected [13].
  • We employed a quantitative cell fusion assay to identify structural domains of CD46 required for its function as a receptor for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) [17].
 

Anatomical context of Herpesvirus 6, Human

 

Gene context of Herpesvirus 6, Human

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Herpesvirus 6, Human

  • Purified immature DC (derived from adherent peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4) could be infected with HHV-6, as determined by PCR analyses, intracellular monoclonal antibody staining, and presence of virus in culture supernatants [28].
  • In dual immunofluorescence assays, the infected cells were detected by antibodies against the HHV-6 p41 nuclear antigen and glial fibrillary acidic protein, indicating that the infected cells are indeed astrocytes [29].
  • Immunohistochemistry using an antibody raised against the HHV-6 rep gene product (REP) revealed that REP was mainly present in the nucleus of MT-4 cells within 24 h after infection with HHV-6B [30].
  • The recombinant protein expressed from the entire HHV-6 MCP gene was detected only weakly in Western blot assays with normal HHV-6-positive human sera as a probe [31].
  • Flow cytometry and Scatchard analysis of TNF receptors revealed an increase in the number of the p55 form of TNF receptors on JJHAN cells after HHV-6 inoculation [32].
