Viral protein - Wikipedia
WEBThe term viral protein refers to both the products of the genome of a virus and any host proteins incorporated into the viral particle. Viral proteins are grouped according to their functions, and groups of viral proteins include structural proteins, nonstructural proteins, regulatory proteins, and accessory proteins. [1]

WEBViral Proteins. Tumors that are induced by viruses contain the provirus integrated in the genomic DNA and express viral proteins. The best example is human papilloma virus, which is implicated in cervix cancer. The viral proteins E6 and E7 that are required for the malignant phenotype contain peptide epitopes that can be recognized by CTL.
