Abstract excerpt
Genotypes of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) from patients with KS in South Texas were examined. Open-reading frame (ORF)-K1 and ORF-K15 DNA segments from 16 KSHV isolates were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and KSHV subtypes were assigned on the basis of sequence variations. K1 genotyping showed that 75% exhibited C subtype and 25% exhibited A subtype. K15 genotyping showed that 56%...
