Human Herpesvirus 8 Interleukin-6 (vIL-6) Signals through gp130 but Has Structural and Receptor-Binding Properties Distinct from Those of Human IL-6

1 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has been associated with classical, endemic (African), and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), body cavity-based primary effusion lymphomas, and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). HHV-8 encodes a functional homologue of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine that promotes the growth of KS and myeloma cells and is found at elevated levels in MCD lesions and patient sera. We have...
