Detection of a novel gammaherpesvirus (genus Rhadinovirus) in wild muntjac deer in Northern Ireland [PDF]
This study represents the initial part of an investigation into the potential for non-native, wild, free-living muntjac deer (Muntiacus reevesi) to carry viruses that could be a threat to livestock.

Autocrine stimulation of rhadinovirus-transformed T cells by the chemokine CCL1/I-309 [PDF]
The rhadinovirus herpesvirus saimiri transforms human T lymphocytes to stable growth in culture. Besides the viral oncogenes stpC and tip, little is understood about the transformation process at the cellular level.

The Primary Sequence of Rhesus Monkey Rhadinovirus Isolate 26-95: Sequence Similarities to Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus and Rhesus Monkey Rhadinovirus Isolate 17577 [PDF]
The primary sequence of the long unique region L-DNA (L for low GC) of rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV) isolate 26-95 was determined. The L-DNA consists of 130,733 bp that contain 84 open reading frames (ORFs).

A critical Sp1 element in the rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV) Rta promoter confers high-level activity that correlates with cellular permissivity for viral replication [PDF]
KSHV establishes characteristic latent infections in vitro, while RRV, a related macaque rhadinovirus, establishes characteristic permissive infections with virus replication.

Rhadinovirus vector-derived human telomerase reverse transcriptase expression in primary T cells [PDF]
The rhadinovirus herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) as a gene delivery vector allows large DNA insertions and long-termed gene expression. In the case of T-cell transduction, such vectors use the viral transformation-associated genes of HVS C488 for T-cell amplification. In this report, we investigated whether the gene for the catalytic telomerase subunit human

Rhadinovirus host entry by co-operative infection.
Rhadinoviruses establish chronic infections of clinical and economic importance. Several show respiratory transmission and cause lung pathologies. We used Murid Herpesvirus-4 (MuHV-4) to understand how rhadinovirus lung infection might work.

Novel γ-2-Herpesvirus of the Rhadinovirus 2 Lineage in Gibbons
We obtained 475 nucleotides of the DNA polymerase gene of a novel human herpesvirus 8 homolog sequence in a gibbon. The finding of this new gibbon virus, which clusters with a related chimpanzee virus in the rhadinovirus 2 genogroup, suggests the ...

Viral FLICE inhibitory protein of Rhesus monkey rhadinovirus inhibits apoptosis by enhancing autophagosome formation [PDF]
Rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV) is a gamma-2 herpesvirus closely related to human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8). RRV encodes viral FLICE inhibitory protein (vFLIP), which has death effector domains. Little is known about RRV vFLIP. This study intended to examine
