ABSTRACT:
An antibody raised against an epitope of a peptide having an amino acid sequence selected from a group consisting of LDGYPSDYDPFVENAQIY (SEQ ID NO:1) and LDGYPSDYDPFEENAQIY (SEQ ID NO:2) is advantageously used in an indirect immunoassay to detect the presence of active Human Herpesvirus-6 in a patient sample.
