Rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; also called human herpesvirus 8) belong to the gamma-2 grouping of herpesviruses. RRV and KSHV share a high degree of sequence similarity, and their genomes are organized in a similar fashion. RRV serves as an excellent animal model system to study the gamma herpesvirus life cycle both in vitro and in vivo. We have developed a high-sensitivity, high-throughput, high-specificity real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-based PCR assay for RRV and have used this assay to profile transcription from the whole RRV genome during de novo productive infection of rhesus fibroblasts. Using this assay, we demonstrate that the genome-wide transcription profile for RRV closely parallels the genome-wide transcription profile for KSHV.
