New SARS Protein Linked To Important Cell Doorway

...nome, we thought the orf7a protein would be on the surface of infected cells, decoying the immune system in some obvious way. But we found that most orf7a protein was inside the cell and little if any of it was on the surface." Further experiments revealed that part of the protein specializes in getting orf...
