Tech Info & Data
Background
C12R is an interferon binding/blocking protein produced by many strains of Mousepox (Ectromelia) virus, (Smith and Alcami, J.Vir. 2002, 76:1124). This protein blocks the activity of mouse IFN-Alpha but not Beta. It is an essential protein for viral infection (Xu et al. JEM 2008 205:981).
