Changes in in vitro susceptibility of influenza A H3N2 viruses to a neuraminidase inhibitor drug during evolution in the human host
23 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Influenza A H3N2 viruses isolated recently have characteristic receptor binding properties that may decrease susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitor drugs. A panel of clinical isolates and recombinant viruses generated by reverse genetics were characterized and tested for susceptibility to zanamivir. METHODS: Plaque reduction assays and neuraminidase enzyme inhibition assays were used to assess...
