The three novel human herpesviruses (HHV) 6, 7, and 8 are predominantly, but not exclusively, lymphotropic. In an attempt to elucidate their neurotropism in vivo, viral DNA sequences present in fresh autopsy cortical brain tissues obtained from 84 consecutive Chinese subjects (mean age, 66.9 years;

Thirty surgical samples of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix obtained from Chinese women were analysed for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 using Southern blot hybridization procedure. HPV16 was detected in 53% while HPV18 was found in only 6% of the samples analyzed. W
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignancy suspected of having an infectious etiology. Unique viral DNA sequences were recognized in KS lesions, using a novel technique that identifies small differences between two complex genomes. The virus had homology with the herpesvirus family, especially Epstein Ba
Southern blot analyses of surgical specimens of cervical carcinoma from Japanese patients showed that 3/9 samples contained human papillomavirus (HPV) type-I6 DNA sequences, and 2 contained HPV type-I6 DNA sequences. By Northern blot analyses, RNA transcripts of HPV DNA sequences were demonstrated i
