Molecular virology of Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the most recently discovered human tumour virus, is the causative agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and some forms of Castleman's disease. KSHV is a rhadinovirus, and like other rhadinoviruses, it has an extensive array of regulatory genes obtained from the host cell genome.

Unusual immunophenotypic variant of large B-cell lymphoma associated with HHV-8 and EBV in an HIV positive patient

Human Pathology: Case Reports, 2015
Human herpesvirus type 8, also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (HHV-8/KSHV) has been associated with several lymphoproliferative disorders including Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), cases of multicentric Castleman's ...

Epigenetic diversity of Kaposi’s sarcoma–associated herpesvirus [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2013
Spontaneous lytic reactivation of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) occurs at a low rate in latently infected cells in disease and culture. This suggests imperfect epigenetic maintenance of viral transcription programs, perhaps due to variability in chromatin structure at specific loci across the population of KSHV episomal genomes.

Non-detection of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA in HHV-8-seropositive blood donors from three Brazilian regions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), is the etiologic agent of all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and the plasmablastic cell variant of multicentric Castleman disease. In endemic

Kaposi’s sarcoma with the eyelid involvement (6 clinical cases)

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2018
Kaposi's sarcoma is a multifocal tumor from vascular endothelium with a low grade of malignancy. It develops due to underlying immune deficiency and is associated with human herpesvirus 8. Kaposi's sarcoma of the eyelids is rare, and its diagnosis can be

RNAs in the Virion of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2005
ABSTRACT De novo infection of cultured cells with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) typically results in a latent infection. Recently, however, it has been reported that a subset of lytic mRNAs can be detected in cells shortly after KSHV infection; this expression is transient and eventually subsides, leading to ...

Recent advances in understanding Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic human herpesvirus. KSHV is associated with three cancers in the human population: KS, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD). KS is the leading cause

For the Future Studies of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
It is 18 years since Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated virus (KSHV), also called human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), was found from Kaposis’ sarcoma (KS) by Chang et al. (1994). More than 8, 000 reports have been published so far and we have learned many things from this virus.

Virion Proteins of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2005
ABSTRACT The proteins that compose a herpesvirus virion are thought to contain the functional information required for de novo infection, as well as virion assembly and egress. To investigate functional roles of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) virion proteins in viral productive replication and de novo infection, we attempted ...

Restricted Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) Herpesvirus Transcription in KS Lesions from Patients on Successful Antiretroviral Therapy

mBio, 2011
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is caused by Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; human herpesvirus 8). KS is an AIDS-defining cancer, and it is changing in the post-antiretroviral therapy (post-ART) era.
