<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma and is associated with two B cell malignancies, primary effusion lymphoma and the plasmablastic variant of multicentric Castleman’s disease. EphA2 functions as a cellular receptor for the gH/gL glycoprotein complex of KSHV for several adherent cell types. KSHV gH/gL was previously shown to also weakly inter...
