The Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus G Protein-Coupled Receptor Has Broad Signaling Effects in Primary Effusion Lymphoma Cells
11 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/human herpesvirus 8 [HHV-8]) is a gamma-2-herpesvirus responsible for Kaposi's sarcoma as well as primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). KSHV is a lymphotropic virus that has pirated many mammalian genes involved in inflammation, cell cycle control, and angiogenesis. Among these is the early lytic viral G protein-coupled receptor (vGPCR), a homologue of the human...
