Abstract
Latency-associated transcripts of human herpesvirus 6 (H6LTs) (K. Kondo et al. J. Virol. 76:4145-4151, 2002) were maximally expressed at a fairly stable intermediate stage between latency and reactivation both in vivo and in vitro. H6LTs functioned as sources of immediate-early protein 1 at this stage, which up-regulated the viral reactivation.
