ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule which encodes KSHV virion protein 26. This invention provides an isolated polypeptide molecule which encodes KSHV virion protein 26. This invention provides an antibody specific to the polypeptide. Antisense and triplex oligonucleotide molecules are also provided. This invention provides a vaccine and method of vaccination, prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of a subject with KS and detecting expression of a DNA virus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma in a cell.
