New computational modeling of avian influenza variants’ immunoprotein interactions – developed by a research team at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte – reveals the H5N1 influenza virus is ...

Influenza viruses are named after the two key proteins on their surface: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). These proteins allow the virus to enter and exit host cells. Current flu vaccines work ...

Prior exposures to specific types of seasonal influenza viruses promote cross-reactive immunity against the H5N1 avian influenza virus, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine ...

If this occurs, H5N1 could potentially start spreading from human to human. Influenza viruses are covered with two lollipop-shaped proteins called hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, for which the ...

Prior exposures to specific types of seasonal influenza viruses promote cross-reactive immunity against the H5N1 avian ...

Catani and colleagues provide data on antigenic properties of neuraminidase proteins of pandemic H1N1 and show that antigenic diversity of the neuraminidase from 2009 to 2020 largely falls into two ...

According to the latest data, over 54% of households in the Delhi-NCR region has reported atleast one memeber suffering from symptoms associated with swine flu or influenza A. "54 per cent of the ...

The stem is genetically stable across influenza viral strains. Picture hemagglutinin's shape as a submicroscopic mushroom, a stem with a broad head on top. The heads of countless hemagglutinin ...

Still Raging: Influenza Measles might be the scariest respiratory infection spreading now, but the flu is the most common – and it, too, can be deadly. So far this season, the CDC estimates we ...

It’s been a brutal flu season. Rates of hospitalizations and outpatient visits for influenza are at a 15-year high, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Yoshi Kawaoka: H5N1 is a subtype of influenza A virus known for primarily infecting birds. It’s called H5N1 because of two surface glycoproteins on the virus. Hemagglutinin — H, and ...
