Background

Monkeypox Virus (MPXV), the virus that causes monkeypox infection in both humans and animals, is a double-stranded DNA virus that has had a recent global outbreak in 2022. MPXV belongs to the Poxviridae family of viruses. It consists of several key subunits including a surface membrane fusion protein (A29L, ~14 kDa), two separate envelope proteins (A30L, ~14 kDa and H3L, ~32kDa), an envelope glycoprotein (A35R ~15 kDa), a receptor glycoprotein that mimics IFN-alpha/beta (B16, ~37kDa), a palmitoylated EEV membrane glycoprotein (C19L, ~35 kDa), a secreted IL-18 binding protein (D6L, ~14kDa), a cell surface-binding protein (E8L, ~32 kDa), a telomere binding protein (I1L, ~36kDa), and a subunit required for DNA packaging (L1R, 18 kDa) .
