Studies from Louisiana State University reveal new findings on life sciences
Published in Genomics and Genetics Weekly, November 7th, 2008
"Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gamma HV68 or MHV68) is genetically related to the human gammaherpesviruses Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), providing a useful system for in vivo studies of the virus-host relationship. To begin to address fundamental questions about the mechanisms of the establishment of gammaherpesvirus latency, we previously generated a replication-defective gamma HV68 lacking the expression of the single-stranded DNA binding protein encoded by orf6," researchers in the United States report.
"In work presented here, we demonstrate that this mutant virus established a long-term infection in vivo that was...
