Synergistic Effect of the PDZ and p85β-Binding Domains of the NS1 Protein on Virulence of an Avian H5N1 Influenza A Virus
14 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
The influenza A virus NS1 protein affects virulence through several mechanisms, including the host's innate immune response and various signaling pathways. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of the H5N1 subtype continue to evolve through reassortment and mutations. Our recent phylogenetic analysis identified a group of HPAI H5N1 viruses with two characteristic mutations in NS1: the avian virus-type...
