Mouse monoclonal KSHV ORF62 antibody Background: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) belongs to the gamma-(2)-herpesviru
s subfamily and has been closely linked to the Kaposi?s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multicentric Castleman?s disease. The genome of KSHV is 165-170 kb and contains at least 88 open reading frames. At least five major proteins are likely to be involved in the assembly of the HHV-8 capsid, including a protease (encoded by ORF17), the major capsid protein (encoded by ORF25), and three other smaller capsid proteins (encoded by ORF62, ORF26, and ORF65).
