FIG. 7.
Gammaherpesvirus DNA is recognized through colinear repeat regions. (A) Schematic alignment of MHV-68 and KSHV genomes showing the regions where repeat regions are colinear in gammaherpesviruses. The kaposin locus is colinear to the 100-bp repeat region. (B) Transfection of increasing amounts of a plasmid containing the kaposin locus, along with the ISRE reporter plasmid. The levels of ISRE luciferase relative to Renilla luciferase were quantitated.
