Abstract excerpt
The hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a multifunctional protein that mediates virus attachment to host sialic acid-containing receptors, exhibits neuraminidase activity, and promotes membrane fusion. Notably, purified HN protein also targets sialic acids on malaria-parasitised red blood cells (PRBCs), thereby reducing parasite viability, and is thus a potential therapeutic...
