AbstractAbstract
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the latest addition to the human herpesvirus family. Unlike alpha- and beta-herpesvirus subfamily members, gamma-herpesviruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and KSHV, cause vari-ous tumors in humans. KSHV primarily infects endothelial and B cells in vivo, and is associated with at least three malig-nancies: Kaposi’s sarcoma and two B cell lymphomas, res-pectively. Although KSHV readily infects endothelial cells in vitro and thus its pathogenic mechanisms have been exten-sively studied, B cells had been refractory to KSHV infection. As such, functions of KSHV genes have mostly been eluci-dated in endothelial cells in the context of viral infection but not in B cells. Whether KSHV oncogenes, defined in endo-thelial cells, play the same roles in the tumorigenesis of B cells remains an open question. Only recently, through a few ground-breaking studies, B cell infection models have been established. In this review, those models will be compared and contrasted and putative mechanisms of KSHV-induced B cell transformation will be discussed.

AbstractAbstract
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of two B cell lymphoproliferative diseases, namely primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD). KSHV infection of B cell lymphoma in vitro has been a long-standing battle in advancing human KSHV biology. In this study, a modified form of KSHV BAC36 named BAC36A significantly increased the fidelity of gene-targeted site-directed mutagenesis in the KSHV genome. This modification eliminates tedious screening steps required to obtain mutant clones when a KSHV BAC36 reverse genetic system is used. Coculturing B-cell lymphoma BJAB cells with KSHV BAC36A stably transfected 293T cells enabled us to infect BJAB cells with a KSHV virion derived from the KSHV BAC36A. The coculture system produced substantial amounts of KSHV infection to BJAB, meaning that KSHV virions were released from 293T cells and then infected neighboring BJAB cells. Owing to our success with the KSHV BAC36A and coculture system, we propose a new genetic system for the study of KSHV gene expression and regulation in B-cell lymphoma.

AbstractAbstract
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid B cell lines, BLCL, which expresse antigens, are potential antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for the induction of CTL in vitro. However, transfection of BLCLs with subsequent selection by antibiotics is notoriously difficult because plating efficiencies of BLCLs are reported to be 1% or less. To generate stable transfectants of BLCLs, we produced high titers of retroviruses encoding pp65 antigen of human cytomegalovirus as foreign antigens and transduced them to BLCLs. The pp65 gene was cloned into the retroviral vector pLXSN. The recombinant retroviral vector was transfected to ecotropic packaging cell line, GP&E86, and this polyclonal recombinant retrovirus was transduced to PA317 that is amphotropic packaging cell line. The titers of cloned PA317 amphotropic retroviruses ranged from 5 to 7 X 10^6 colony forming units (CFU) per ml (CFU/ml). We performed three rounds of consecutive transductions to BLCLs in order to improve the cloning efficiencies. The expression of recombinant HCMV-pp65 antigen was more than 20% after the final transduction. The third-transduced BLCLs were easily selected in optimal concentration of G418. BLCLs expressing foreign antigens could be used as target cells for CTL assay and/or as APCs for induction of in vitro CTL responses specific for viral and tumor antigens.
