Fluorescent Trimeric Hemagglutinins Reveal Multivalent Receptor Binding Properties [PDF]
Influenza A virus carries hundreds of trimeric hemagglutinins proteins (HA) on its viral envelope that interact with various sialylated glycans on a host cell.

Hemagglutinin Spatial Distribution Shifts in Response to Cholesterol in the Influenza Viral Envelope [PDF]
Influenza virus delivers its genome to the host cytoplasm via a process of membrane fusion mediated by the viral hemagglutinin protein. Optimal fusion likely requires multiple hemagglutinin trimers, so the spatial distribution of hemagglutinin on the viral envelope may influence fusion mechanism.

Influenza hemagglutinin drives viral entry via two sequential intramembrane mechanisms [PDF]
Abstract Enveloped viruses enter cells via a process of membrane fusion between the viral envelope and a cellular membrane. For influenza virus, mutational data have shown that the membrane-inserted portions of the hemagglutinin protein play a critical role in achieving fusion. In contrast to the relatively well-understood ectodomain, a

Evolution of the G+C content frontier in the rat cytomegalovirus genome [PDF]
Within the 230138 bp of the rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV) genome, the G+C content changes abruptly at position 142644, constituting a G+C content frontier. To the left of this point, overall G+C content is 69.2%, and to the right it is only 47.6%.

Discordant correlation between serological assays observed when measuring heterosubtypic responses against avian influenza H5 and H7 viruses in unexposed individuals [PDF]
The human population is constantly exposed to multiple influenza A subtypes due to zoonotic spill over and rapid viral evolution driven by intrinsic error-prone replication and immunological pressure.

Estimating reassortment rates in co-circulating Eurasian swine influenza viruses [PDF]
Swine have often been considered as a mixing vessel for different influenza strains. In order to assess their role in more detail, we undertook a retrospective sequencing study to detect and characterize the reassortants present in European swine and to ...

Highly sensitive detection of influenza virus with SERS aptasensor.
Highly sensitive and rapid technology of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was applied to create aptasensors for influenza virus detection. SERS achieves 106-109 times signal amplification, yielding excellent sensitivity, whereas aptamers to ...
