Kaposi's Sarcoma-Like Tumors in a Human Herpesvirus 8 ORF74 Transgenic Mouse
28 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
The product of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) open reading frame 74 (ORF74) is related structurally and functionally to cellular chemokine receptors. ORF74 activates several cellular signaling pathways in the absence of added ligands, and NIH 3T3 cells expressing ORF74 are tumorigenic in nude mice. We have generated a line of transgenic (Tg) mice with ORF74 driven by the simian virus 40 early promoter. A minority...
