Science, 2017 Influenza The morbidity and economic tolls of influenza virus are huge, regardless of its capacity to kill. Vaccines and therapies to control this persistent threat are limited. In structural studies, Kadam and Wilson show how the broad-spectrum antiviral arbidol inactivates viral hemagglutinin (HA).

Neutralizing Antibodies Targeting the Conserved Stem Region of Influenza Hemagglutinin
Vaccines, 2020 Influenza continues to be a public health threat despite the availability of annual vaccines. While vaccines are generally effective at inducing strain-specific immunity, they are sub-optimal or ineffective when drifted or novel pandemic strains arise ...

Marked Rise in Replikin Counts in H5N1 Influenza Virus Localized to Lethality Gene p B1. [PDF]
, 2011 : Virus outbreaks have been found to be related to the concentration of a new class of genomic peptides, Replikins^1^. The eight genes of H5N1 influenza virus were analyzed for the distribution of Replikin Counts (number Replikins /100 amino acids) in 2 ...

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015 Introduction: Saudi Arabia (SA) experienced a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 outbreak in domesticated birds in 2007. Methodology: Forty-three hemagglutinin (HA) and 41 neuraminidase (NA) genes of HPAI H5N1 viruses were sequenced and ...

An Open Receptor-Binding Cavity of Hemagglutinin-Esterase-Fusion Glycoprotein from Newly-Identified Influenza D Virus: Basis for Its Broad Cell Tropism. [PDF]
, 2016 Influenza viruses cause seasonal flu each year and pandemics or epidemic sporadically, posing a major threat to public health. Recently, a new influenza D virus (IDV) was isolated from pigs and cattle. Here, we reveal that the IDV utilizes 9-O-acetylated

γδ T Cells Provide Protective Function in Highly Pathogenic Avian H5N1 Influenza A Virus Infection
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Given the high mortality rate (>50%) and potential danger of intrapersonal transmission, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 epidemics still pose a significant threat to humans.

Mitogenicity of influenza hemagglutinin glycoproteins and influenza viruses bearing H2-hemagglutinin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1981 The hemagglutinin glycoprotein is responsible for the mitogenic effect of influenza A viruses of the H2N2 subtype. This was indicated by the ability of viruses bearing the H2-hemagglutinin glycoprotein, regardless of its associated neuraminidase, to induce lymphocyte proliferation in normal spleen cell suspensions and by the ability of antisera with ...
