How Brigitte Huber may have inadvertently proven that HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen.

"The human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) encodes a superantigen that causes deregulation of the immune system."

Conclusion

"These results imply that HHV-6A, either in latent form or during acute infection, directly transactivates HERV-K18. This HERV-K18 induction may be mediated through IFN-α that is produced by the HHV-6A-infected cells. The functional implications of superantigen expression are discussed."
