HHV-8 DNA polymerase sequence identified by degenerate PCR assay.

Alignment of amino acid translations of sequences from the herpesvirus DNA polymerase gene obtained from the patient's sera, with analogous regions from the DNA polymerase sequences of other herpesviruses14: human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7), human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), varicella–zoster virus (VZV), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Dots indicate identity with the first sequence in the alignment.
