B18R, Vaccinia virus (HEK293, His)

B18R protein functions as a potent antagonist against the antiviral effects of host IFN-alpha/beta and key IFN-inducible proteins, such as OAS1 involved in viral RNA degradation. It acts as a soluble IFN-alpha receptor, effectively impeding the interaction between host IFN-alpha and its receptor. The protein's ability to interact with host IFNA1 underscores its role in modulating the host's immune response against viral infections. B18R Protein, Vaccinia virus (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Virus-derived B18R protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.
