Infection of blood vascular endothelial cells and lymphatic endothelial cells with KSHV. The study by Wang et al. [1] found that the infected cells have a transcription profile that lies between those of the two starting cell types but is closer to that of lymphatic endothelium. In most cells the virus establishes a latent infection, whereas a small proportion develop a lytic infection.
