UW researchers at the Institute of Protein Design have developed a synthetic protein called BINDI which binds to the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) protein BHRF1 responsible for immortalizing cells. Inhibition of BHRF1, a BCL2 homologue, may prove to be a useful treatment for EBV related cancers and other conditions stemming from EBV.
