The M2 Ectodomain Is Important for Its Incorporation into Influenza A Virions
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
M2 is an integral protein of influenza A virus that functions as an ion channel. The ratio of M2 to HA in influenza A virions differs from that found on the cell surface, suggesting selective incorporation of M2 and HA into influenza virions. To examine the sequences that are important for M2 incorporation into virions, we used an incorporation assay that involves expressing M2 from a plasmid, transfecting the...
