  2. Comparative Characterization of #Bronchial and #Nasal #Mucus Reveals Key #Determinants of #Influenza A Virus #Inhibition biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/

    The ability of mucus to neutralize influenza A virus varies with the anatomical origin of the #airway cultures and correlates with the abundance of #triglycerides and sialylated #glycoproteins and #glycolipids.

  3. #Adaptation potential of #H3N8 canine #influenza virus in #human respiratory #cells, Sci Rep.: nature.com/articles/s41598-024

    We found that CIV acquired high growth properties in these cells mainly through #mutations in surface #glycoproteins, such as hemagglutinin (#HA) and neuraminidase (#NA). Our reverse genetics approach revealed that HA2-K82E, HA2-R163K, and NA-S18L mutations were responsible for the increased growth of CIV in human cells.
