Glycan receptor specificity as a useful tool for characterization and surveillance of influenza A virus.
Influenza A viruses are rapidly evolving pathogens with the potential for novel strains to emerge and result in pandemic outbreaks in humans. Some avian-adapted subtypes have acquired the ability to bind to human glycan receptors and cause severe infections in humans but have yet to adapt to and transmit between humans. The emergence of new avian strains and their ability to infect humans has c...
متن کاملGlycan Receptor for Influenza Virus
Influenza viruses are found in wide range of animals, including humans, in nature. When avian and human viruses simultaneously infect an intermediate host, such as pigs, genetic recombination can occur between these viruses. There is concern regarding interspecies transmission, both initial animal-to-animal infection and outbreaks of pandemic viruses in the human population. Hemagglutinin (HA) ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Glycan Receptor Specificity of H2N2 Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin
The H2N2 subtype of influenza A virus was responsible for the Asian pandemic of 1957-58. However, unlike other subtypes that have caused pandemics such as H1N1 and H3N2, which continue to circulate among humans, H2N2 stopped circulating in the human population in 1968. Strains of H2 subtype still continue to circulate in birds and occasionally pigs and could be reintroduced into the human popul...
متن کاملGlycan arrays for analysis of influenza virus specificity
Approaches that improve upon the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of singlestrand antisense oligonucleotides are an active research topic. Antisense oligonucleotide phosphorothioates (ASOs) are highly protein bound. Therefore, it is likely that they traffic into and through cells via a protein to protein shuttling mechanism driven by binding affinity gradients.1 The ASO binding ev...
متن کاملGlycan Receptor Binding of the Influenza A Virus H7N9 Hemagglutinin
The advent of H7N9 in early 2013 is of concern for a number of reasons, including its capability to infect humans, the lack of clarity in the etiology of infection, and because the human population does not have pre-existing immunity to the H7 subtype. Earlier sequence analyses of H7N9 hemagglutinin (HA) point to amino acid changes that predicted human receptor binding and impinge on the antige...
