Abstract excerpt
The influenza A virus M2 integral membrane protein has an ion channel activity which is thought to play an essential role in the uncoating process of influenza virus in infected cells and, for some strains of influenza virus, in maintaining the hemagglutinin in its pH neutral form during transport through the trans Golgi network. To demonstrate directly that the M2 protein forms an ion channel in mammalian cells,...
