Virus proteins that bind cytokines, chemokines or interferons.
Some viruses express proteins to evade non-specific host defences such as complement, interferons and the inflammatory response. Recent notable discoveries are the broad species specificity of orthopoxvirus interferon receptors, herpesvirus and poxvirus proteins related to chemokine receptors and proteins that bind more than one cytokine, interferon or chemokine.
