Author notes
I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following
competing interests: TSU and RY are co-inventors on a patent related to the treatment
of KSHV-associated diseases with immune modulatory compounds, and the spouse of RY
is a co-inventor on a patent related to the measurement of KSHV vIL-6. These inventions
were all made as part of their duties as employees of the U.S. Government, and the
patents are or will be assigned to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The
government may convey a portion of the royalties it receives from licensure of its
patents to its employee inventors. RY and TSU have a CRADA with Celgene Corp. and
recently conducted clinical research using drugs supplied to the NCI by Merck and
Co., Hoffman LaRoche, and Bayer Healthcare. TSU receives additional research funding
from Roche. None of the other co-authors have conflicts of interest to disclose.
