Abstract excerpt
Type I interferons (IFN) exert pleiotropic activities through binding to two cell surface receptors, ifnar1 and ifnar2. We are investigating the biophysical basis of IFN signaling by characterizing the complex of the extra-cellular domain of ifnar2 (ifnar2-EC) with IFNs on the level of purified recombinant proteins in vitro. Here, we present a detailed mutational study on the functional epitopes on both IFN and...
