| seroprevalence of antibodies to human herpesviruses in england and hong kong. | the age-related prevalence of antibodies to herpesviruses was compared in england and hong kong. altogether 327 sera from england and 266 sera from hong kong were tested for antibodies to herpes simplex virus (hsv), varicella-zoster virus (vzv), epstein-barr virus (ebv), cytomegalovirus (cmv), and human herpesvirus 6 (hhv-6). herpesvirus infections were common in both countries but generally were acquired earlier and were more prevalent in hong kong. over 90% of children in hong kong were infect ... | 1994 | 8083655 |
| sequence variation of the amino-terminal antigenic domains of glycoprotein b of human cytomegalovirus strains isolated from chinese patients. | to study the genetic variation of human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) in asian populations, the amino-terminal antigenic domains of glycoprotein b of hcmvs isolated from ethnic chinese transplant patients were cloned and sequenced. the nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequences were compared with published sequences of ad169 and towne laboratory strains. within the region sequenced, 9 out of 15 clinical isolates (60%) possessed a peptide configuration similar to that of strain ad169 while 6 isolates ( ... | 1994 | 7979986 |
