Abstract excerpt
New classes of mutants of influenza virus A/seal/Mass/1/80 are described in which the haemagglutinins (HA) have lost their protease cleavability by trypsin, but can be activated by elastase, chymotrypsin or thermolysin in different cell types. The same proteases that were required for activation of infectivity of the mutants also activated haemolysis and cell-fusing properties. The protease activation...
