Three Distinct Regions of the Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68 Genome Are Transcriptionally Active in Latently Infected Mice

Abstract excerpt

The program(s) of gene expression operating during murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gammaHV68) latency is undefined, as is the relationship between gammaHV68 latency and latency of primate gammaherpesviruses. We used a nested reverse transcriptase PCR strategy (sensitive to approximately one copy of gammaHV68 genome for each genomic region tested) to screen for the presence of viral transcripts in latently infected...
