Abstract excerpt
Molecular polymorphism was found in Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) latent nuclear antigen (LNA), mapped to the internal repeat domain of the encoding orf73 gene, and used to develop a novel genotyping technique, KSHV LNA genotyping (KVNAtyping). KVNAtype was stable during latent and lytic viral replication in cell culture and in humans. Diverse KVNAtypes were identified in 43 specimens: 6 KSHV...
