GGCX promotes Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus adaption to interspecies receptor binding
Abstract The Eurasian avian-like (EA) H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV) possesses the capacity to instigate the next influenza pandemic, owing to its heightened affinity for the human-type α-2,6 sialic acid (SA) receptor. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying the switch in receptor binding preferences of EA H1N1 SIV remain elusive. In this study, we conduct a… Continue reading GGCX promotes Eurasian avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus adaption to interspecies receptor binding
