Agonists and Inverse Agonists for the Herpesvirus 8-encoded Constitutively Active Seven-transmembrane Oncogene Product, ORF-74
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
A number of CXC chemokines competed with similar, nanomolar affinity against 125I-interleukin-8 (IL-8) binding to ORF-74, a constitutively active seven-transmembrane receptor encoded by human herpesvirus 8. However, in competition against 125I-labeled growth-related oncogene (GRO)-alpha, the ORF-74 receptor was highly selective for GRO peptides, with IL-8 being 10,000-fold less potent. The constitutive...
