Development of a real-time QPCR assay for the detection of RV2 lineage-specific rhadinoviruses in macaques and baboons

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2005
Background Two distinct lineages of rhadinoviruses related to Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV8) have been identified in macaques and other Old World non-human primates. We have developed a real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) assay using a

Inhibiting KSHV replication by targeting the essential activities of KSHV processivity protein, PF-8. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Med Virol
Abstract Kaposi's Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of several human diseases. There are no cures for KSHV infection. KSHV establishes biphasic lifelong infections. During the lytic phase, new genomes are replicated by seven viral DNA replication proteins.

Rhesus Rhadinovirus Establishes a Latent Infection in B Lymphocytes In Vivo [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1999
ABSTRACT Recent DNA sequence analysis indicates that rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV) is a member of the lymphotropic gamma-2 herpesvirus family. To determine if RRV is lymphotropic, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from naturally infected monkeys were separated by immunomagnetic bead depletion and analyzed for the presence of RRV by ...

A review of latency in the Alloherpesviridae family. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Fish Dis
Abstract The ability to impact the immune response of the host has been recognized as essential for the success of a virus during infection. A few groups of viruses can combine these immunomodulatory mechanisms with specific patterns of their own transcriptional and replication regulation to achieve persistence within the host long term.

Human Herpesvirus 8--the First Human Rhadinovirus

open access: yesJNCI Monographs, 1998
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus, also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), is the first known human member of the genus Rhadinovirus. It is regularly found by polymerase chain reaction in all forms of KS, in certain types of Castleman's disease, and in body cavity-based B-cell lymphoma.

Disruption of LANA in Rhesus Rhadinovirus Generates a Highly Lytic Recombinant Virus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2009
ABSTRACT Rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV) is a gammaherpesvirus that is closely related to human Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8). RRV is the closest relative to KSHV that has a fully sequenced genome and serves as an in vitro and an in vivo model system for KSHV.

Glycoprotein gene sequence variation in rhesus monkey rhadinovirus

open access: yesVirology, 2010
Gene sequences for seven glycoproteins from 20 independent isolates of rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV) and of the corresponding seven glycoprotein genes from nine strains of the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) were obtained and analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis revealed two discrete groupings of RRV gH sequences, two discrete groupings of

Complete Genome Sequence of Pig-Tailed Macaque Rhadinovirus 2 and Its Evolutionary Relationship with Rhesus Macaque Rhadinovirus and Human Herpesvirus 8/Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2015
ABSTRACT Two rhadinovirus lineages have been identified in Old World primates. The rhadinovirus 1 (RV1) lineage consists of human herpesvirus 8, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), and closely related rhadinoviruses of chimpanzees, gorillas, macaques and other Old World primates.

Epstein-Barr virus genetics: talking about the BAC generation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Genetic mutant organisms pervade all areas of Biology. Early on, herpesviruses (HV) were found to be amenable to genetic analysis using homologous recombination techniques in eukaryotic cells.
