Abstract

The Introduction is an overview of 3 decades of works performed by Professor Ferenc Györkey (in many cases in collaboration with the author) and aimed at the elucidation of viral participation in the etiology of arteriosclerosis, SLE, hairy cell leukemia, HD, AIDS and KS. Controversial issues surrounding the etiology, treatment and regression of KS are discussed in terms of paracrine and autocrine loops of growth factors; protooncogene-oncogene activations, immunosuppression and retro- and/or herpesviral etiology. In regressing KS lesions the roles played by Fas, Bcl-2, Bax, TNFß; apoptotic-antiapoptotic events; and antiangiogenesis agents especially that of Hu-r-IFNa are elaborated on.
