FIG. 1.

Infection of endothelial cells with KSHV causes the formation of spindle cells. Primary HUVECs, LECs, and BECs were obtained as described in Materials and Methods. (a to f) HUVECs, LECs, and BECs were subjected to infection with KSHV at high MOIs for 2 h and rinsed and medium was replaced. (a to c) LANA, green; K8.1, red; DAPI (4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole), blue. Images were taken at 3 days postinfection. (g to i) Mock- and KSHV-infected LECs and KSHV-infected BECs were stained with FITC-coupled phalloidin.
