The Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) genome encodes more than 85 open reading frames (ORFs). Serological evaluation of KSHV infection now generally relies on reactivity to just one latent and/or one lytic protein (commonly ORF73 and K8.1). Most of the other polypeptides encoded by the virus have unknown antigenic profiles. We have systematically expressed and purified products from 72 KSHV ORFs in recombinant systems and analyzed seroreactivity in US patients with KSHV-associated malignancies, and US blood donors (low KSHV seroprevalence population). We identified several KSHV proteins (ORF38, ORF61, ORF59 and K5) that elicited significant responses in individuals with KSHV-associated diseases. In these patients, patterns of reactivity were heterogeneous; however, HIV infection appeared to be associated with breadth and intensity of serological responses. Improved antigenic characterization of additional ORFs may increase the sensitivity of serologic assays, lead to more rapid progresses in understanding immune responses to KSHV, and allow for better comprehension of the natural history of KSHV infection. To this end, we have developed a bead-based multiplex assay detecting antibodies to six KSHV antigens. Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the cause of Kaposi sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and a form of multicentric Castleman's disease, affecting mainly persons with HIV, other immunosuppressed patients and elderly men. Such diseases are most common where KSHV prevalence is high, in sub-Saharan Africa and the Mediterranean, and amongst men who have sex with men. Various assays for the serodiagnosis of KSHV have been developed to investigate global KSHV epidemiology. ELISAs utilizing one lytic (K8.1) and one latent antigen (ORF73) are often used. However, a more complete characterization of immune responses to all KSHV antigens may have important epidemiologic and clinical applications. We systematically expressed and purified 73 of the 85 proteins encoded by KSHV and analysed serologic responses in patients with KSHV-associated malignancies compared to healthy subjects. We identified significant reactivity to ORF38, ORF61, ORF59 and K5, in addition to the known K8.1, ORF73 and ORF65. Reactivity patterns were varied; however, HIV infected individuals were reactive to more antigens, with greater intensity. Next, we developed a bead-based assay that can test a small sample simultaneously for six KSHV antigens. The new tool can improve the detection of KSHV and the characterization of asymptomatic infection and KSHV associated diseases.
