1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) establishes latent infections in lymphocytes and endothelial cells, and latent infection is closely linked to tumorigenesis. As few viral markers are expressed during latency, compounds that can safely and efficiently increase lytic gene expression in vivo have been sought. We have found that the non-tumour-promoting phorbol ester prostratin and the proteasome...
