Abstract excerpt
The susceptibility of H7 influenza A viruses to the M2-mediated alteration in HA resulting from treatment with amantadine or rimantadine depends both on the pH stability of HA and the pH encountered during transport to the plasma membrane of the particular virus-infected cell. pH stabilities of a range of virus mutant HAs exhibited an inverse correlation with drug sensitivity and the proportion of low-pH HA...
