Recent studies have indicated that vMIP-I and vMIP-II play important roles in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-related diseases due to the effects of these proteins on vascularization. We developed monoclonal antibodies against KSHV-encoded viral macrophage inflammatory protein-I (vMIP-I) and vMIP-II to study these expression profiles and reveal the pathogenesis of KSHV-related diseases. The MAbs against vMIP-I and vMIP-II reacted to KSHV-infected cell lines after lytic induction. Both vMIP-I and the vMIP-II gene products were detected 24h post-induction with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate until 60h in the cytoplasm of primary effusion lymphoma cell lines. In clinical specimens, both vMIP-I and vMIP-II gene products were detected in the tissues of patients with multicentric Castleman's disease. On the other hand, only vMIP-II was detected in a subset of Kaposi's sarcoma. We concluded that these antibodies might be powerful tools to elucidate the pathogenesis of KSHV-related diseases.
