Abstract excerpt
Polybasic amino acid residues at the hemagglutinin (HA) cleavage site are insufficient to induce the highly pathogenic phenotype of avian influenza viruses in chickens. In our previous study, an H7N7 avian influenza virus named "Vac2sub-P0", which is nonpathogenic despite carrying polybasic amino acids at the HA cleavage site, was passaged in chick air sacs, and a virus with high intravenous pathogenicity,...
