The cDNA encoding mature Evasin-3 (66 amino acids) has been cloned from the blood-feeding parasitic common brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Evasin-3 is a chemokine binding protein that binds CXCL8 and CXCL1. Administration of recombinant Evasin-3 in animal models of disease demonstrates that the protein possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties. Evasin-3 is a potent inhibitor of neutrophil mediated inflammation (Déruaz et al, 2008).
