A Unique Bivalent Binding and Inhibition Mechanism by the Yatapoxvirus Interleukin 18 Binding Protein

Interleukin 18 (IL18) is a cytokine that plays an important role in inflammation as well as host defense against microbes. Mammals encode a soluble inhibitor of IL18 termed IL18 binding protein (IL18BP) that modulates IL18 activity through a negative feedback mechanism. Many poxviruses encode homolo...
