Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Influenza A viruses (FLUAV) utilize sialic acid to enter host cells via the envelope’s hemagglutinin (HA), and its affinity for host-specific sialic acid conformations is a major host range determinant. However, some FLUAV subtypes (H17, H18, H19) were recently shown to use the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) as an entry receptor instead of sialic acid (SA), challengin...
