A study published in PLOS PATHOGENS describes the prevalence and functions of mutations in neuraminidase enzyme of avian H5N1 influenza viruses that are preferentially selected in human H5N1 influenza ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 87, No. 2 (1990), pp. 786-790 (5 pages) The hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) external glycoprotein ...

Researchers have discovered that antibodies that may form the basis of a universal flu vaccine inhibit a second viral protein in addition to the one that they bind. The study reveals that antibodies ...

A schematic diagram of the influenza virus, showing the surface proteins hemagglutinin (blue, peanut shaped) and neuraminidase (red, flower shaped), to which antibodies attach during an immune ...

Aims In this study, we analyze the challenges involved in detecting novel neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) and offer strategies to overcome them with complementary bioassays. Materials & Methods We ...

Influenza viruses appear as three types. Type A infects a variety of birds and mammals, whereas B and C infect only humans. A and B cause epidemics; C is much less severe. Two proteins distinguish ...

BOULDER COLORADO (3/26/19) -- InDevR Inc. announced commercial availability of a VaxArray reagent kit for neuraminidase (NA) from influenza viruses containing the N9 subtype. Together with InDevR's ...

On Christmas Day last year, a 68-year-old woman in southern China came down with the flu. A week later she was hospitalized. The woman eventually recovered, but she spent three weeks in the hospital.

The difference between seasonal flu and pandemic flu is whether or not people have had a chance to build immunity to the virus through previous exposure. People are exposed to influenza viruses ...

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered that antibodies that may form the basis of a universal flu vaccine inhibit a second viral protein in addition to the one that they ...
