KSHV-encoded CC chemokine vMIP-III is a CCR4 agonist, stimulates angiogenesis, and selectively chemoattracts TH2 cells

Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes 3 genes that are homologous to cellular chemokines. vMIP-III, the product of open reading frame K4.1, is the most distantly related to human chemokines and has yet to be characterized. We have examined the interaction of vMIP-III with chemokine receptors, its expression in KS lesions, and its in ovo angiogenic properties. We show expression of vMIP-III in KS...
