New insights into the immunomodulatory properties of poxvirus cytokine decoy receptors at the cell surface [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Poxviruses encode a set of secreted proteins that bind cytokines and chemokines as a strategy to modulate host defense mechanisms. These viral proteins mimic the activity of host cytokine decoy receptors but have unique properties that may enhance their activity. Here, we describe the ability of pox...
