Abstract excerpt
Vaccinia virus (VV) and other orthopoxviruses express a soluble type I interferon (IFN) receptor that for VV strain Western Reserve is encoded by gene B18R. The 60-65 kDa glycoprotein is related to the interleukin-1 receptors and is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, unlike other type I IFN receptors, which belong to the class II cytokine receptor family. The receptor has high affinity (KD, 174 pM) for...
