NS2 protein |

||
A protein encoded in the genome of influenza B virus. NS1 is a strong inducer of ISG15 protein. NS1 protein blocks covalent linkage of ISG15 to its target and thus inhibits its functions. The protein is a virus-encoded antagonist for the activities of IFN-alpha IFN-beta (Yuan and Krug, 2001; Guan et al, 2011).
