Characterization of changes in the hemagglutinin that accompanied the emergence of H3N2/1968 pandemic influenza viruses
2021-04-19
Abstract excerpt
The hemagglutinin (HA) of A/H3N2 pandemic influenza viruses (IAVs) of 1968 differed from its inferred avian precursor by eight amino acid substitutions. To determine their phenotypic effects, we studied recombinant variants of A/Hong Kong/1/1968 virus containing either human-type or avian-type amino acids in the corresponding positions of HA. The precursor HA displayed receptor binding profile and high conformatio...
