Correspondence of the functional epitopes of poxvirus and human interleukin-18-binding proteins.

Journal of virology - 1 Oct 2001

Xiang Y, Moss B

Abstract excerpt

Molluscum contagiosum virus, a human poxvirus that causes persistent small benign skin tumors, encodes a variety of putative immune defense proteins. Three such proteins, MC51L, MC53L, and MC54L, have 20 to 35% amino acid sequence identities with human interleukin-18 (hIL-18)-binding protein (hIL-18BP), a naturally occurring antagonist of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-18. We previously demonstrated that seven...
