Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To identify site-specific features of amino acid substitutions that confer enhanced H7N9 virulence in humans, we independently generated mammalian-adapted variants of A/Anhui/1/2013 (AH-H7N9) and A/Shanghai/2/2013 (SH-H7N9) by serial passaging in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. METHODS: Virus was respectively extracted from cell culture supernatant and cells, and was absolutely quantified by...
