Human herpesvirus 8 genomes and seroprevalence in United States blood donors

15 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a gamma-herpesvirus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma. The prevalence of HHV-8 genomes in US blood donors has not been systemically studied. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A sensitive and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was used to detect HHV-8 DNA from purified CD19+ B lymphocytes from randomly selected US whole blood donors. Cellular target for the...
