The results and statistical analysis of the qualitative RT-PCR assay for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (gapdh) and lytic (orf29) or latent (orf73) mRNA for two independent experiments of implants infected with KSHV derived from BCBL-1 cells or UV-inactivated virus. Shown is the number of positive implants per total number of analyzed implants. P values were calculated using X2 statistics.
