Extra Details:: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) belongs to the gamma-(2)-herpesvirus 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. KSHV ORF26 open reading frames are juxtaposed and span from nucleotide (nt) 46933 to 47850 of the virus genome. Akula et al (2003) report it acts as a Capsid protein. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA: 1:10,000 Western Blot: 1:500-1:2000. Incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4˚C with gentle shaking overnight. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C.
