Inhibition of host chemokines by virus
uniprot
definition
Viral protein involved in the evasion of host immune response by inhibiting chemokines. Chemokines have several roles including Th1/Th2 differentiation, T_cell costimulation, or promotion of leukocyte migration. Due to the importance of chemokines in immunity, viruses have evolved mechanisms to counter the chemokine network. They encode chemokine-like proteins, chemokine receptors, or chemokine-binding proteins to inhibit cellular chemokines.
