Title: | Immunofluorescence (Positive) |
---|---|
Description: | This is a histological slide of the human lymphotropic virus (HHV-6), a type of herpesvirus that was discovered in October, 1986. The bright immunofluorescent stain indicates a positive reaction and the HHV-6 infected lymphocytes are now producing viral antigens. The increased intensity of the immunofluorescent stain indicates a higher concentration of viral antigens. Maximal intensity indicates that the infected cell is at its peak for viral production. The cell will die within 24 hours and cause a sudden release of the virus. |
