Recent DNA sequence analysis indicates that rhesus rhadinovirus (RRV) is a member of the lymphotropic gamma-2 herpesvirus family. To determine if RRV is lymphotropic, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from naturally infected monkeys were separated by immunomagnetic bead depletion and analyzed for the presence of RRV by virus isolation and nested PCR. The recovery and consistent detection of RRV in the CD20(+)-enriched fraction clearly demonstrates that B lymphocytes are a major site of virus persistence.
最近的DNA序列分析表明,恒河猴疱疹病毒(RRV)是嗜淋巴细胞性γ-2疱疹病毒家族的成员。为了确定RRV是否具有嗜淋巴细胞性,通过免疫磁珠去除法分离自然感染猴子的外周血单个核细胞,并通过病毒分离和巢式PCR分析RRV的存在情况。在富含CD20(+)的组分中RRV的回收和持续检测清楚地表明B淋巴细胞是病毒持续存在的主要部位。
