13 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) establish latent infections and are associated with various types of malignancies. They are members of the gamma-2 herpesvirus subfamily and encode a replication and transcriptional activator, RTA, which is necessary and sufficient to disrupt latency and initiate the viral lytic cycle in vitro. We have constructed a recombinant MHV-68...
