| Abstract: | Many viral proteins are presently known to modulate the protective responses in the host organism. The genomes of Poxviridae have the greatest number of genes coding for proteins that suppress the inflammatory response, action of interferons, immune response, and other protective reactions. This review considers the poxviral immunomodulating proteins: TNF-, chemokine-, and complement-binding proteins and serine protease inhibitors. These proteins demonstrate therapeutic effects in animal models of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The applicability of poxviral immunomodulating proteins to treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders in humans is discussed. |
