title: [Isolation of human herpes virus 6 from peripheral blood of renal transplant recipients].
abstract: One strain of the viruses was isolated from preipheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of a renal transplant recipient. PBL isolated from blood samples were cocultured with the PHA actived cord blood lymphocytes (CBL). Two of twelve recipient's samples found cytopathic effect after 10 to 14 days. Examination of ultrathin-sections of the virus infected cells by electron microscope showed herpes-like virus particles. Detection of indirect immunofluorescences with McAbs against HHV-6 was positive in the infected cells.
