Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus-Encoded Oncogenes and Oncogenesis
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Molecular biologic studies of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) have identified a number of potential viral oncogenes that may contribute to KSHV-related neoplasia including a D-type cyclin, an IL-6-like cytokine, and a novel member of the interferon regulatory factor family.
