Abstract excerpt
Clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 is causing an unprecedented outbreak in dairy cows in the United States. To understand if recent H5N1 viruses are changing their receptor use, we screened recombinant hemagglutinin (HA) from historical and recent 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses for binding to distinct glycans bearing terminal sialic acids using a glycan microarray. We find that H5 from A/Texas/37/2024, an isolate from the dairy cow...
