Abstract excerpt
The poxvirus-derived protein vCCI (viral CC chemokine inhibitor) binds almost all members of the CC chemokine family with nanomolar affinity, inhibiting their pro-inflammatory actions. Understanding the affinity and specificity of vCCI could lead to new anti-inflammatory therapeutics. CCL17, also known as TARC, is unusual among CC chemokines by having only micromolar binding to vCCI. We have used sequence...
