Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV-8) is linked to the etiopathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma, a plasma-blastic variant of Castleman's disease and primary effusion lymphoma. KSHV is related to a number of non-human primate viruses. Only a limited number of KSHV proteins are expressed in tumor cells. Here we discuss the putative role of these proteins in KSHV pathogenesis.
卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒(KSHV 或 HHV-8)与卡波西肉瘤、Castleman 病的浆母细胞变异型以及原发性渗出性淋巴瘤的发病机制相关。KSHV 与多种非人类灵长类病毒有关。在肿瘤细胞中仅表达有限数量的 KSHV 蛋白。在此,我们讨论这些蛋白在 KSHV 发病机制中的假定作用。
