KSHV infection of endothelial cells induces actin dynamics and rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton.

HUVEC were infected with KSHV and stained for actin cytoskeleton (green) and nuclei (blue) at different time points post-infection. Actin stress fibers (while arrow head) and cortical actin structures (white arrow) were visible before viral infection. KSHV infection disrupted actin stress fibers and induced more cortical actin structures at the early stage of infection (
