Expression of p53 and human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8)-encoded latency-associated nuclear antigen with inhibition of apoptosis in HHV-8-associated malignancies
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cells express human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8)-encoded latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) (open reading frame [ORF] 73 protein), suggesting that LANA plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HHV-8-associated malignancies. Recently, the binding of LANA to p53 was demonstrated in vitro. In the current study, the authors investigated the...
