Human Herpesvirus 8 Immunostaining

2004-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is recognized as a major causal agent of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), and it has been detected in all epidemiologic variants of KS. Until now, detection of HHV-8 in paraffin-embedded sections was done mostly by using reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction. To assess the sensitivity and specificity of an anti–HHV-8 antibody and its potential usefulness for separating KS from its mimicke...
