#Avian and #Human #Influenza A Virus #Receptors in #Bovine #Mammary #Gland, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/9/24-0696_article
An outbreak of influenza A (#H5N1) virus was detected in dairy cows in the #USA. We detected influenza A virus #sialic acid -α2,3/α2,6-galactose host receptors in bovine mammary glands by lectin histochemistry. Our results provide a rationale for the high levels of H5N1 virus in #milk from infected cows.

Fucosylated and non-fucosylated alpha2,3 #sialosides were detected on the #bovine #mammary #gland tissues, BioRxIV: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.29.605565v1
Receptors for high pathogenicity avian #influenza viruses (#HPAIVs) in mammary glands of dairy #cattle were detected using various recombinant #hemagglutinins (rHAs). Results demonstrated presence of fucosylated and non-fucosylated alpha2,3 sialosides, which were typically targeted by the HA of clade 2.3.4.4b HPAIVs.
