Abstract excerpt
A mutant influenza virus, A/NWS-Mvi, grows well in the presence of exogenous sialidase activity sufficient to remove all cell surface sialic acids. Related wild-type viruses grow very poorly under these conditions, although mutant and wild-type viruses bind to desialylated cells with similar efficiency and show similar reduction of binding to sialidase-treated cells compared to native cells. Here we examine...
