Provided is an antigen composition, pertaining to human herpes virus 6B (HHV-6B), which can be stably supplied in a large amount. Also provided is a vaccine including this antigen composition. Also provided is a method for producing this antigen composition. HHV-6B antigen tetrameric complexes including gH, gL, gQ1, and gQ2 among the surface proteins of HHV-6B are used as the antigen composition. The HHV-6B antigen tetrameric complexes make it possible to provide an antigen composition which can be stably supplied in a large amount. Because the antigen composition can be stably supplied in a large amount, it is possible to stably supply vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions including this antigen composition, which is industrially advantageous. |
