Virulence-Affecting Amino Acid Changes in the PA Protein of H7N9 Influenza A Viruses
27 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Novel avian-origin influenza A(H7N9) viruses were first reported to infect humans in March 2013. To date, 143 human cases, including 45 deaths, have been recorded. By using sequence comparisons and phylogenetic and ancestral inference analyses, we identified several distinct amino acids in the A(H7N9) polymerase PA protein, some of which may be mammalian adapting. Mutant viruses possessing some of...
