| Research Abstract |
HHV-6 is divided into two species; HHV-6A and HHV-6B. Primary HHV-6B infection causes exanthem subitum (ES) that is common infectious disease in childhood. In contrast to HHV-6B, epidemiology and clinical feature of HHV-6A infection remains unclear because of no species-specific serological assay. To elucidate full-spectrum of HHV-6A infection, we sought to develop species-specific HHV-6 serological assay.
We have developed a new immunoblot assay that could discriminate between HHV-6A and B antibodies. However, this method is inappropriate for high-throughput analysis. Then, we tried to use synthesized peptides located within the target regions. Two peptide will be able to use ELISA for species-specific ELISA assays.
