Quantitative and functional defects of dendritic cells in classic Kaposi's sarcoma.
- Published 2006 in Clinical immunology
Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether dendritic cells (DCs) are altered in classic Kaposi's sarcoma (cKS), a lympho-angioproliferative disorder associated with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection.
