Virus subversion of immunity: a structural perspective
BE Gewurz, R Gaudet, D Tortorella, EW Wang… - Current opinion in …, 2001 - Elsevier
Over the past year, we have witnessed the discovery of further virus immuno-evasins—
proteins that alter the host immune response. Although many of these factors have been
described over the past decade, the structural basis underlying their biology has lagged
behind. Structural data have now been obtained for several such proteins. Major advances
of the past year include the structures of a viral chemokine-binding protein, of an intact viral
regulator of complement activation and of an immuno-evasin with its cellular target.
