摘要
Intra-familial transmission of Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is likely to occur in geographical regions where KSHV infection is highly endemic. Transmission has been studied previously indirectly using scrological techniques, however direct documentation of specific transmission routes has yet to be reported. The internal repeat domain (IRD) of the KSHV opening reading frame (ORF) 73 was shown previously to exhibit restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Analysis of such polymorphism was undertaken using nested ORF 73 IRD PCR products derived from the blood and mouth rinse samples of individuals in Malawian family groups. The resulting RFLP patterns were unique to an individual and could be compared between family members. In three of eight families studied, identical RFLP patterns were recovered from family members; in the remaining five families, dissimilar RFLP patterns were revealed. Results from RFLP analysis were compared to sequencing data recovered from family members for the first variable region of the hypervariable KSHV ORF K1. Patterns of intra-and extra-familial transmission inferred from ORF K1 sequencing data were corroborated mainly using ORF 73 IRD RFLP analysis. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
