U94 of human herpesvirus 6 inhibits in vitro angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a lymphotropic virus, but recent observations showed that also vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are susceptible to infection, both in vivo and in vitro. The observation that lymph nodes are a site of viral persistence suggests that lymphatic ECs (LECs) might be even more relevant for HHV-6 biology than vascular ECs. Here, we provide evidence that HHV-6 can infect LECs in vitro and...
