中文摘要：

人疱疹病毒6型（HHV-6）是一类嗜人淋巴细胞的双链DNA病毒,属疱疹病毒β亚科。研究推测HHV-6基因组可编码80～100种蛋白质,包括膜蛋白、即刻早期（IE）蛋白、DNA蛋白、DNA包装蛋白、病毒装配蛋白等。本文就HHV-6基因编码蛋白的特性和功能研究进展予以综述。

英文摘要：

Human herpesvirus 6 （HHV-6） , a double-stranded DNA virus, is a member of the β herpes subfamily. It has been hypothesized that the HHV-6 genome may code 80 to 100 different proteins, including membrane proteins, immediate early （IE） proteins, DNA packaging proteins, and virus assembly proteins, etc. In this article, the research progress regarding the features and functions of proteins encoded by the HHV-6 gene is reviewed.
