Phylogenetic Analysis Indicates That Evasin-Like Proteins of Ixodid Ticks Fall Into Three Distinct Classes.

Chemokines are structurally related proteins that activate leucocyte migration in response to injury or infection. Tick saliva contains chemokine-binding proteins or evasins which likely neutralize host chemokine function and inflammation. Biochemical characterisation of 50 evasins from , and shows that they fall into two functional classes, A and B, with exclusive binding to either CC- or CXC- chemokines, respectively.

Building Moral Resiliency Through the Nurse Education and Support Team Initiative.
