Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus Viral Protein Kinase Augments Cell Survival
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) expressing vPK (HUVEC-vPK) have a survival advantage over control HUVEC under conditions of extrinsic- and intrinsic-mediated apoptosis. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from two sample groups-HUVEC EV and HUVEC vPK (WT) under three different serum concentrations (0%, 2%, and 10%) (n=2). The Genewiz (AZENTA Life Sciences, (https://www.genewiz.com/) performed library preparation. RNA samples underwent RNA sequencing utilizing Illumina NovaSeq technology.
