Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus ORF34 is essential for late gene expression and virus production

Abstract Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman’s disease. KSHV establishes a life-long infection in its host and alternates between a latent and lytic infection state. During lytic infection, l...
