Hypoxia induces lytic replication of Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus
15 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
There is substantial evidence that Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of all forms of Kaposi sarcoma (KS). It has been noted that KS commonly occurs in locations, such as the feet, where tissue may be poorly oxygenated. On the basis of this observation, the potential role of hypoxia in the reactivation of KSHV replication was explored by studying 2...
