Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), a gammaherpesvirus implicated in
Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and Castleman's disease,
encodes several pathogenically important cellular homologs. To define
the HHV-8 transcription program, RNA obtained from latently infected
body cavity-based lymphoma 1 cells induced to undergo lytic replication
was used to query a custom HHV-8 DNA microarray containing nearly every
known viral open reading frame. The patterns of viral gene expression
offer insights into the replication and pathogenic strategies of HHV-8.
