Glycan Clock Forecasts Human Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin Evolution
2017-07-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Adaptive immunity to influenza A virus is limited by frequent mutations in the immunodominant head of hemagglutinin (HA). Over the last century, the upward trend in HA-head glycosylation indicates glycan addition can increase fitness, but its role in viral evolution remains unclear. Here, we report glycan evolution follows a clock-like rhythm, pacing the timeline, trajectory, and replacement of...
