Journal ArticleDOI

KSHV antibodies among Americans, Italians and Ugandans with and without Kaposi's sarcoma.

TL;DR: Antibody kinetics showed that more than half of the AIDS–KS patients who were examined IgG–seroconverted before KS development, and antibody levels did not decline after seroconversion, suggest that the rate of infection was constant and that the risk of developing KS once infected with KSHV is not highly dependent on the duration of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary characterization of a herpesvirus agent associated with Kaposi's sarcomae.

TL;DR: The agent is defined as a new human herpesvirus provisionally assigned the descriptive name KS-associated herpesv virus; its formal designation is likely to be human herpes virus 8.0, the first member of this genus known to infect humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 222- to 234-kilodalton latent nuclear protein (LNA) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8) is encoded by orf73 and is a component of the latency-associated nuclear antigen.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that orf73 encodes the 222- to 234-kDa LNA, is a component of LANA, and is expressed in KS tumor cells, as well as the characteristic speckled nuclear immunofluorescence pattern ofLANA on Western blots.
