Abstract
Isolated viral proteins, and pharmaceutical compositions made therefrom, are disclosed which are capable of binding to a .beta. chain of a Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex antigen, thereby functioning to inhibit an antigen-specific response. The viral proteins also have superantigen-like activity, and inhibit EBV infection.
