Abstract excerpt
Influenza A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1) virus was studied for development of resistance to cyanovirin-N (CVN). CVN neutralizes virus infectivity by binding to specific high-mannose oligosaccharides on the viral haemagglutinin 1 (HA1) subunit. During virus adaptation to mice in the absence of CVN treatment the virus became resistant to CVN (CVN-MR virus), as did virus passaged in cell culture in the presence of CVN...
