Primary effusion lymphomas (PELs) are invariably infected by human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV8) and often co‐infected by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). We found that expression of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC‐I) surface molecules was significantly decreased in PEL cells when compared with HHV8 negative lymphomas, irrespective of EBV infection. MHC‐I downregulation rendered PEL cells sensitive to recognition and killing by natural killer (NK) cells. Intriguingly, analysis of MHC‐I non‐restricted cytotoxicity in two PEL patients indicated a reduced NK cell activity when compared with healthy individuals. These data suggest that PEL outgrowth may require an impaired NK cell function.
