A small non-interface surface epitope in human IL18 mediates the dynamics and self-assembly of IL18-IL18BP heterodimers

Interleukin 18 (IL18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that modulates innate and adaptive immune responses. IL18 activity is tightly controlled by the constitutively secreted IL18 binding protein (IL18BP). PDB structures of human IL18 showed that a short stretch of amino acids between 68 and 81 adopte...
