p13 protein is encoded by poxvirus. The protein acts as a binding protein for IL18 (kdis of p13 for murine IL18 is 5 nM, kdis of cellular receptor 0.2 nM) (Born et al, 2000).
Mice infected with a p13 deletion mutant of ectromelia virus, which has reduced infectivity, show elevated cytotoxicity for YAC-1 tumor cell targets compared with control animals.
