BCRF1 Protein, EBV (His, Myc)

IL-10 Protein critically masks infected cells for immune evasion by down-regulating the host TAP1 gene, hindering peptide transport into the endoplasmic reticulum and loading onto MHC class I molecules. IL-10 also inhibits IFN-gamma synthesis and exists as a homodimer. BCRF1, EBV (His, Myc) is the recombinant virus-derived BCRF1 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

IL-10 Protein critically masks infected cells for immune evasion by down-regulating the host TAP1 gene, hindering peptide transport into the endoplasmic reticulum and loading onto MHC class I molecules. IL-10 also inhibits IFN-gamma synthesis and exists as a homodimer. BCRF1, EBV (His, Myc) is the recombinant virus-derived BCRF1 protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-His labeled tag.

Background

The IL-10 protein plays a critical role in immune recognition by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, as it is involved in masking infected cells. It accomplishes this by down-regulating the expression of the host TAP1 gene, which hampers the transport of peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum and their subsequent loading onto MHC class I molecules. Additionally, IL-10 inhibits the synthesis of IFN-gamma. It exists as a homodimer.
