Specificity of the HHV-8 ORF73 and ORF26 qPCR Assays. Amplification curves (A) and agarose gel electrophoresis images (B) of the HHV-8 ORF73 (1) and ORF26 (2) assays tested against a panel of all eight HHV. The GAPDH PCR assay (B.3) was used as a DNA control as all samples were prepared from cell lines, except for HHV-6 (lane 6). Various primer sets were used to test HHV-1 to −8 (lanes 1 to 8 respectively). A 100 bp molecular weight marker was used as a reference.
