[Detection of HHV8 latent nuclear antigen by immunohistochemistry. A new tool for differentiating Kaposi's sarcoma from its mimics].

Unlabelled: The purpose of this work was to study the value of HHV8 latent nuclear antigen 1 detection by immunohistochemistry in Kaposi sarcoma and its mimics.

Materials And Methods: : We used the mAB LNA53 against the latent nuclear antigen 1 of HHV8 to study its expression by immunohistochemistry in paraffin embedded biopsy of Kaposi and its mimics. We also performed in vitro PCR for HHV8 DNA, extracted from the same paraffin embedded biopsies.
