Is PB1-F2 a virulence factor for avian influenza virus in poultry?
2017-01-01
Abstract excerpt
PB1-F2 is a small accessory protein encoded by influenza A viruses. In mammals it has been implicated in a wide range of functions which contribute to increased pathogenesis. In the avian host, PB1-F2 is understudied despite increased conservation of functional-length PB1-F2 in viruses isolated from avian compared to mammalian hosts. Therefore the aim of this thesis is to understand the contribution of the avian i...
