The Role of Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin Residues 226 and 228 in Receptor Specificity and Host Range Restriction
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Influenza A viruses can be isolated from a variety of animals, but their range of hosts is restricted. For example, human influenza viruses do not replicate in duck intestine, the major replication site of avian viruses in ducks. Although amino acids at positions 226 and 228 of hemagglutinin (HA) of the H3 subtype are known to be important for this host range restriction, the contributions of specific amino acids...
