The Hemagglutinin of Influenza A Virus Induces Ferroptosis to Facilitate Viral Replication
AbstractFerroptosis is a novel form of cell death caused by the accumulation of lipid peroxides in an iron‐dependent manner. However, the precise mechanism underlying the exploitation of ferroptosis by influenza A viruses (IAV) remains unclear. The results demonstrate that IAV promotes its own replication through ferritinophagy by sensitizing cells to ...

Hemagglutinin (HA) of the influenza virus plays a crucial role in the early stage of the viral life cycle by binding to sialic acid on the surface of host epithelial cells and mediating fusion between virus envelope and endosome membrane for the release of viral genomes into the cytoplasm.

Structural Analysis of the Evolutionary Origins of Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin and Other Viral Lectins [PDF]
ABSTRACT Influenza virus and other viruses use host cell surface sugars as receptors. Here we show that the sugar-binding domains in influenza virus hemagglutinin and other viral lectins share the same structural fold as human galectins (host lectins).

Glycomics-based analysis of chicken red blood cells provides insight into the selectivity of the viral agglutination assay [PDF]
Agglutination of red blood cells (RBCs), including chicken RBCs (cRBCs), has been used extensively to estimate viral titer, to screen glycan-receptor binding preference, and to assess the protective response of vaccines.

Antigenic mapping of an H9N2 avian influenza virus reveals two discrete antigenic sites and a novel mechanism of immune escape [PDF]
H9N2 avian influenza virus is a major cause of poultry production loss across Asia leading to the wide use of vaccines. Efficacy of vaccines is often compromised due to the rapid emergence of antigenic variants.

Stalking influenza by vaccination with pre-fusion headless HA mini-stem. [PDF]
Inaccuracies in prediction of circulating viral strain genotypes and the possibility of novel reassortants causing a pandemic outbreak necessitate the development of an anti-influenza vaccine with increased breadth of protection and potential for rapid ...

Heterologous prime-boost vaccination with H3N2 influenza viruses of swine favors cross-clade antibody responses and protection [PDF]
The emergence of multiple novel lineages of H1 and H3 influenza A viruses in swine has confounded control by inactivated vaccines. Because of substantial genetic and geographic heterogeneity among circulating swine influenza viruses, one vaccine strain ...
