## Abstract Human herpesvirus 7 (HHVβ7) was isolated frequently from saliva specimens. The isolation rates were 81% (13/16) in adults, 70% (7/10) in children over 1 year old, and none (0/7) in children less than 1 year old, respectively, indicating that infection of HHVβ7 occurs during early infanc

## Abstract We have previously reported the isolation of HHVβ6 from saliva samples. Because these isolations were made in PHAβstimulated lymphocytes from healthy adults, which may occasionally contain endogenous HHVβ6, it was desirable to repeat this work using cord blood lymphocytes. In this study
The isolation and characterization of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) has been hindered by the lack of cell lines useful for its rapid propagation. Recently, we have reported that the MRC-5 cell line (human diploid lung fibroblasts) was susceptible for HHV-6 infection. In this study, we report on the is
