Abstract excerpt
We used the polymerase chain reaction to amplify the HA1 coding region of influenza A (H1N1) viruses present in clinical material from recent cases of influenza in the U.K. Previously, we have demonstrated that isolation of human influenza viruses in embryonated hens' eggs selects variants which have amino acid substitutions in their haemagglutinin (HA) clustering around the receptor-binding site. Such...
