ABSTRACT:
Isolated human herpesvirus type 8 nucleic acid sequences expressed in latently infected human cells including primary Kaposi's sarcoma cells, primary pulmonary tumor cells, and a body cavity based lymphoma cell line are disclosed. Methods of detecting HHV-8 infection and methods of inhibiting expression of the nucleic acid sequences in vivo are also disclosed.
