Antigenic alteration of influenza B virus associated with loss of a glycosylation site due to host‐cell adaptation
20 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Effects of host-cell adaptation of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein were evaluated by the analyses of four pairs of recent influenza B field isolates, each pair consisting of an Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK)- and an embryonated chicken egg-derived isolates from the same clinical specimen. Among the isolates examined, all of the MDCK-derived isolates retained glycosylation site at amino acid 197 on the HA1...
