Abstract excerpt
The influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) protein is responsible for actively cleaving the sialic acid (SA) bound to the viral hemagglutinin. In the present study, we identified a combination of five novel amino acid substitutions in the NA, conferring increased substrate binding and altered surface characteristics to a low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H9N2 virus strain. The H9N2 strain reported from India,...
