摘要
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) DNA sequences from paraffin-embedded tissue from cervical cancer patients. Two of eight cases were positive for HHV-6 using two sets of HHV-6 primers. Hybridization of PCR products with specific radioisotope-labeled oligonucleotide probes confirmed the results. Furthermore, HHV-6 typing was possible by adapting restriction endonuclease digestion of PCR product. This method is useful for retrospective studies in investigating the etiologic role of HHV-6 in the development of human diseases.
