Description: HHV 8 encodes a latent nuclear antigen (LNA), which is the product of the viral gene orf 73. LNA is capable of forming a complex with retinoblastoma susceptibility gene product, which may be related to its oncogenic activity. HHV8 is associated with three different diseases observed in AIDS patients; kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma (which is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting the body cavities) and multicentric Castleman's disease. HHV 8 is the likely etiological agent of Kaposis sarcoma.
Immunogen: Recombinant protein corresponding to the latent nuclear antigen 1 molecule of HHV8 was used as the immunogen for this HHV8 antibody.
Storage: Store the human HHV8 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
