Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions are characterized by a prominent
leukocyte infiltrate composed of mononuclear phagocytes and T cells.
KS-associated CD4+ and CD8+ cells showed
predominantly a type II cytokine profile. The CC chemokine viral
macrophage inflammatory protein-II (vMIP-II) encoded by the
KS-associated herpes virus 8 was a selective chemoattractant for T
helper 2 (Th2 cells) and for monocytes, whereas it was inactive on
other leukocytes, including Th1 cells, dendritic cells, and natural
killer (NK) cells. vMIP-II was an agonist for CCR8, a chemokine
receptor selectively expressed on CD4+ and
CD8+ cells with a type II cytokine profile. Hence,
vMIP-II has agonist activity for a chemokine receptor (CCR8), which is
preferentially expressed on polarized Th2 cells. The capacity of
vMIP-II to attract type II T cells selectively is likely to be a
component of the virus strategy to subvert the host immune response.
