Abstract
Kaposi's sarcoma is multifactorial, involving Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection and immune dysfunction. A KSHV protein (vOX2), fused with the Fc domain of human immunoglobulin G1 to create vOX2:Fc, suppressed neutrophil oxidative burst and inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory chemokines (IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) by monocyte/macrophage cells. vOX2:Fc suppressed the acute inflammatory response in mice in which neutrophil-mediated inflammation was induced by carrageenan. The data suggest that vOX2 can contribute to immune dysfunction and could have anti-inflammatory therapeutic potential.
