HHV8-encoded vMIP-I Selectively Engages Chemokine Receptor CCR8
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Uncertainty regarding viral chemokine function is mirrored by an incomplete knowledge of host chemokine receptor usage by the virally encoded proteins. One such molecule is vMIP-I, a C-C type chemokine of undefined function and binding specificity, encoded by the Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus HHV-8. We report here that vMIP-I binds to and induces cytosolic [Ca(2+)] signals in human T cells selectively through...
