Cooperating H3N2 Influenza Virus Variants Are Not Detectable in Primary Clinical Samples
8 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Viruses mutate rapidly, and recent studies of RNA viruses have shown that related viral variants can sometimes cooperate to improve each other's growth. We previously described two variants of H3N2 influenza virus that cooperate in cell culture. The mutation responsible for cooperation is often observed when human samples of influenza virus are grown in the lab before sequencing, but it is unclear whether the...
