Lack of Heparan Sulfate Expression in B-Cell Lines: Implications for Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus and Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68 Infections

9 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and its murine homolog, murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68), are lymphotropic viruses that establish latent infection in their host. Surprisingly, while B cells are the main viral reservoir in vivo, B-cell lines are poorly permissive to infection by either MHV68 or KSHV. Here, we report that most B-cell lines express very little to no cell surface heparan sulfate...
