RNA sequencing of HHV-6B transcriptome identifies U38 as the best target for HHV-6 RT-PCR testing
Investigators at University of Washington studied multiple samples to develop an assay that can detect active infection in patients with chromosomally integrated HHV-6. Current quantitative PCR DNA testing cannot determine whether a ciHHV6 patient has active replication.
