New Virulence Determinants Contribute to the Enhanced Immune Response and Reduced Virulence of an Influenza A Virus A/PR8/34 Variant
27 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
The identification of amino acid motifs responsible for increased virulence and/or transmission of influenza viruses is of enormous importance to predict pathogenicity of upcoming influenza strains. We phenotypically and genotypically compared 2 variants of influenza virus A/PR/8/34 with different passage histories. The analysis revealed differences in virulence due to an altered type I interferon (IFN)...
