N-glycolylneuraminic acid binding of avian H7 influenza A viruses

2020-12-21

Abstract excerpt

Influenza A viruses initiate infection by binding to glycans with terminal sialic acids present on the cell surface. Hosts of influenza A viruses variably express two major forms of sialic acid, N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). NeuGc is produced in the majority of mammals including horses, pigs, and mice, but is absent in humans, ferrets, and birds. Intriguingly, the only know...
