Transcriptomic analysis of KSHV-infected primary oral fibroblasts: the role of interferon-induced genes in the latency of oncogenic virus

The Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), the most common HIV/AIDS-associated tumor worldwide. Involvement of the oral cavity portends a poor prognosis for patients with KS, but the mechanisms for KSHV regulation of the oral tumor microenvironmen...
