Abstract excerpt
We have established and characterized two new Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) cell lines derived from skin biopsies: AIDS-KSISTIV (from an AIDS-associated KS) and KSISTVIII (from a sporadic KS). AIDS-KSISTIV and KSISTVIII are composed mostly of spindle-shaped cells. They show similar patterns of immunohistochemical staining and are positive for smooth muscle (smooth muscle alpha-actin) and fibroblastoid (TE7) markers....
