The clone for this protein has been identified by Boppana et al (2009) in a screen for gene products present in the saliva of the mosquito Aedes aegypti for their ability to program CD4(+) T-cells to express the signature Th2 cytokine IL4. SAAG-4 encodes a secreted protein with a predicted size of 20 kDa. SAAG-4 reduces host CD4(+) T-cell expression of the signature Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma and simultaneously increases expression of IL4.
