Abstract
African swine fever virus encodes several genes which are predicted to interfere with the host response to virus infection. One such gene encodes a protein (CD2v) that is similar to the T cell surface protein CD2. Host macrophage proteins that interact with the cytoplasmic tail of the viral CD2v protein have been identified. The effects of the CD2v interaction with these host proteins on macrophage function are being studied.
