Widespread Traces of Lytic Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus in Primary Effusion Lymphoma at Single-Cell Resolution

Microbiol Resour Announc. 2020 Nov 5;9(45):e00851-20. doi: 10.1128/MRA.00851-20.

ABSTRACT

Cancer cells of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) often contain both Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). We measured the interplay of human, KSHV, and EBV transcription in a cell culture model of PEL using single-cell RNA sequencing. The data detect widespread trace expression of lytic KSHV genes.
