KSHV is the etiologic agent of PEL-an aggressive lymphoma. Interestingly, EBV concurrently exists in nearly 70% of PEL cases. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, McHugh et al. (2017) develop humanized mouse models for EBV/KSHV co-infection and identify their complementary effect on in vivo tumor formation.
卡波西肉瘤相关疱疹病毒(KSHV)是原发性渗出性淋巴瘤(PEL,一种侵袭性淋巴瘤)的病原体。有趣的是,在近70%的PEL病例中,EB病毒(EBV)同时存在。在本期的《细胞宿主与微生物》杂志中,麦克休等人(2017年)建立了EBV/KSHV共感染的人源化小鼠模型,并确定了它们在体内肿瘤形成中的互补作用。
