Abstract excerpt
A variant of the influenza virus NWS/G70C has been generated which has decreased sensitivity in vitro to the neuraminidase-specific inhibitor, 4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en. The virus is 1000-fold less sensitive to the 4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en in a plaque assay, but only 10-fold less sensitive to 4-amino-Neu5Ac2en. In an enzyme inhibition assay 250-fold more drug was needed to achieve inhibition comparable to that observed...
