[viral IL8] This IL8 homolog of 134 amino acids shares closest homology to mammalian and avian IL8 and is encoded within the genome of Marek's disease virus (MDV) [Marek's disease virus IL8] (Parcells et al, 2001). vIL8 is a chemoattractant for chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells but not for heterophils.
Although vIL8 was described initially as a chemoattractant of chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells (Parcells et al, 2001), a re-investigation shows that vIL8 recruits B-cells, the main target for MDV lytic replication. In addition, vIL8 interacts with
