ABSTRACT:
An antibody raised against an epitope of a peptide having an amino acid sequence selected from a group consisting of Leu Asp Gly Tyr Pro Ser Asp Tyr Asp Pro Phe Val Glu Asn Ala Gln Ile Tyr (SEQ ID NO:1) and Leu Asp Gly Tyr Pro Ser Asp Tyr Asp Pro Phe Glu Glu Asn Ala Gln Ile Tyr (SEQ ID NO:2) is advantageously used in an indirect immunoassay to detect the presence of active Human Herpesvirus-6 in a patient sample.
