Epstein-Barr Virus Inhibits Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Lytic Replication in Primary Effusion Lymphomas [PDF]
ABSTRACT The majority of AIDS-associated primary effusion lymphomas (PEL) are latently infected with both Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). PELs harboring two viruses have higher oncogenic potential, suggesting functional interactions between EBV and KSHV.
