Novel Cellular Genes Essential for Transformation of Endothelial Cells by Kaposi's Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus
15 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is involved in the development of lymphoproliferative diseases and Kaposi's sarcoma. The oncogenicity of this virus is reflected in vitro by its ability to transform B cells and endothelial cells. Infection of dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMVEC) transforms the cells from a cobblestone-like monolayer to foci-forming spindle cells. This transformation is...
