Expression of the Sendai Virus Fusion Protein and the Hemagglutinin-neuraminidase Protein Using a Baculovirus Vector [PDF]
The fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoproteins of Sendai virus were expressed using a baculovirus expression vector to examine the structures and functions of these proteins. Both proteins were detected in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf) cells infected with the recombinant viruses on immunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence ...

Roles of the Fusion and Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Proteins in Replication, Tropism, and Pathogenicity of Avian Paramyxoviruses [PDF]
ABSTRACT Virulent and moderately virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), representing avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1), cause respiratory and neurological disease in chickens and other species of birds. In contrast, APMV-2 is avirulent in chickens.

Isolation of a biologically active soluble form of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein of Sendai virus [PDF]
As a first step in establishing the three-dimensional structure of the Sendai virus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), we have isolated and characterized a potentially crystallizable form of the molecule. The sequence of HN, a surface glycoprotein, predicts a protein with an uncharged hydrophobic region near the amino terminus which is responsible for ...

Influenza viruses possess at their surface two glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase, of which the antagonistic functions have to be well balanced for the virus to grow efficiently. Ferraris et al.

Regulation of Paramyxovirus Fusion Activation: the Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase Protein Stabilizes the Fusion Protein in a Pretriggered State [PDF]
ABSTRACT The hemagglutinin (HA)-neuraminidase protein (HN) of paramyxoviruses carries out three discrete activities, each of which affects the ability of HN to promote viral fusion and entry: receptor binding, receptor cleaving (neuraminidase), and triggering of the fusion protein.

Recombinant Newcastle disease viruses (rNDV) have been used as bivalent vectors for vaccination against multiple economically important avian pathogens. NDV-vectored vaccines expressing the immunogenic H5 hemagglutinin (rNDV-H5) are considered attractive

Mucosal Immunity against Neuraminidase Prevents Influenza B Virus Transmission in Guinea Pigs
Despite efforts to control influenza virus infection and transmission, influenza viruses still cause significant morbidity and mortality in the global human population each year.

Localization of a new neutralizing epitope on the mumps virus hemagglutinin–neuraminidase protein
Four protein fragments which span the entire hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein (HN) of mumps virus were expressed in HeLa cells and cell extracts were tested for their capability to induce neutralizing antibodies in mice. Fragment HN3 (aa 213-372) was able to induce the production of hemagglutination-inhibiting and neutralizing antibodies.
