The human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 is necessary for the production of Group 2 influenza A virus pseudotypes
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The monomer of influenza haemagglutinin is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor that during maturation is cleaved by proteases into two active subunits. Other studies have demonstrated that the human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 (TMPRSS2) can cleave the HA of human seasonal influenza viruses. Consequently, we have investigated the use of human Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 to produce high titre...
