Human Herpesvirus-6 IgG IFA Kit

Human Herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is neither vector-borne nor a zoonotic agent. It is transmitted human-to-human. Often the case is that one of the local reference facilities requests a product they are having trouble obtaining. Such is the case with HHV-6 IFA slides and it turns out they are fun to work with. There is also quite a lot of research going on with the pathology of HHV-6, expanding the list of associated diseases. Our IFA slide substrate contains cells at different stages, demonstrating both early antigens (diffuse cytoplasmic) and late antigens (compacted inclusions), much like EBV. As with EBV, also, titers of early antigen titers are higher than generally described in the literature due to insensitive assays and, thus, they persist longer.
