Abstract excerpt
Amino acid substitutions at residue I223 of the neuraminidase (NA) protein have been identified in 2009 pandemic influenza (pH1N1) variants with altered susceptibilities to NA inhibitors (NAIs). We used reverse genetics and site-directed mutagenesis to generate the recombinant A/Québec/144147/09 pH1N1 wild-type virus (WT) and five (I223R, I223V, H275Y, I223V-H275Y, and I223R-H275Y) NA mutants. A fluorimetry-based...
