Abstract excerpt
The present study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of two samples of influenza A/England/42/72 (H3N2) virus, one of them selected by an adsorption-elution technique, to determine the possible existence of virus variants or subpopulations. Based on specificity of virulence-related cell receptor-binding and sialidase activities, this selection technique using human O group erythrocytes revealed the...
