Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Influenza A virus genomes are comprised of 8 negative strand single-stranded RNA segments and are thought to encode 11 proteins, which are all translated from mRNAs complementary to the genomic strands.

However, antigenic differences are considerable and when viruses become established...
