Distinct profiles of antibodies to Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus antigens in patients with Kaposi sarcoma, multicentric Castleman disease, and primary effusion lymphoma.

Antibody responses against lytic and latent Kaposi sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus antigens were investigated in patients with KS, multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), and primary effusion lymphoma. Antibodies against the lytic antigen K8.1 were 5-fold higher in patients with MCD than those with KS, whereas antibodies to the sum of latent antigens v-cyclin and LANA were 27-fold higher in p...
