Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (Human Herpesvirus 8) Open Reading Frame 4 Protein (Kaposica) Is a Functional Homolog of Complement Control Proteins [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe genome analysis of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has revealed the presence of an open reading frame (ORF 4) with sequence homology to complement control proteins. To assign a function to this protein, we have now expressed this ORF using thePichiaexpression system and shown that the purified protein inhibited human ...
