Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) oncoprotein K1 is linked to lymphoproliferation and suppression of apoptosis mediated by the Fas death receptor. Expression of K1 in transgenic mice induces accumulation of lymphoid tissue cells and lymphoma. METHODS: To examine how K1 and Fas interact to suppress apoptosis, K1-Fas binding was studied in human embryonic kidney (HEK) and lymphoma (BJAB) cells that expressed...
