The Hemagglutinin of Influenza A Virus Induces Ferroptosis to Facilitate Viral Replication

open access: yesAdvanced Science
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 ...

Lectins and Tetrahymena – A review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The unicellular ciliate Tetrahymena is a complete organism, one of the most highly developed protozoans, which has specialized organelles performing each of the functions characteristic to the cells of higher ranked animals.

Inhibition of Influenza A Virus (H1N1) Fusion by Benzenesulfonamide Derivatives Targeting Viral Hemagglutinin

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
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]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2013
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Sequential immunization with chimeric hemagglutinin ΔNS1 attenuated influenza vaccines induces broad humoral and cellular immunity

open access: yesnpj Vaccines
Influenza viruses pose a threat to public health as evidenced by severe morbidity and mortality in humans on a yearly basis. Given the constant changes in the viral glycoproteins owing to antigenic drift, seasonal influenza vaccines need to be updated ...
