Impaired CTL Recognition of Cells Latently Infected with Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpes Virus
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) is a recently identified human gamma2-herpesvirus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and Castleman's disease. We reasoned that CTL responses may provide host defense against this virus, and consequently, KSHV may have evolved strategies to evade the CTL-mediated immune surveillance. In this study six B cell lines latently infected with KSHV...
