Biological Effects of Individually Synthesized TNF-Binding Domain of Variola Virus CrmB Protein

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

The biological characteristics of a 17-kDa protein synthesized in bacterial cells, a TNF-binding domain (VARV-TNF-BP) of a 47-kDa variola virus CrmB protein (VARV-CrmB) consisting of TNF-binding and chemokine-binding domains, were studied. Removal of the C-terminal chemokine-binding domain from VARV-CrmB protein was inessential for the effi ciency of its inhibition of TNF cytotoxicity towards L929 mouse fi broblast culture and for TNF-induced oxidative metabolic activity of mouse blood leukocytes. The results of this study could form the basis for further studies of VARV-TNF-BP mechanisms of activity for prospective use in practical medicine.
