Genetic susceptibility and resistance to influenza infection and disease in humans and mice.

Abstract excerpt

Although genetic risk factors for influenza infection have not yet been defined in people, differences in genetic background and related variation in the response to infection, as well as viral virulence, are all likely to influence both the likelihood of infection and disease severity. However, apart from characterization of viral binding sites in avian and mammalian hosts, relatively little investigation has...
