ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid which encodes a Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus latency-associated nuclear antigen 2 polypeptide (LANA2) or a fragment thereof and also provides the LANA2 polypeptide. This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid comprising consecutive nucleotides having the sequence of a promoter of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus latency-associated nuclear antigen 2 transcription. This invention also provides a method of inhibiting p53 mediated apoptosis of a cell and a method of producing an antibody which comprises introducing into a cell a replicable vector of the subject invention.
