Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human oncogenic virus. KSHV utilizes its proteins to modify the cellular environment to promote viral replication and persistence. Some of these proteins are oncogenic, modulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, genome stability, and immune responses, among other cancer hallmarks. These changes can lead to the development of KSHV-associated malignancies. In this Gem, we focus on animal models of oncogenic KSHV proteins that were developed to enable better understanding of KSHV tumorigenesis.Entities:
