The H (sometimes HA), is hemagglutinin, a lollipop-shaped protein that binds to a receptor on a human cell, the first step toward getting the virus inside the cell. The N is neuraminidase, a second ...

As of now, 17 states have reported H5N1 bird flu cases in humans, but there is still no evidence for transmission between people and the infections have been mild. Could that change?

The Odessa American is the leading source of local news, information, entertainment and sports for the Permian Basin.

Through this investigation, Reid was able to map a gene called the hemagglutinin, which is key to allowing the influenza virus to take hold. Reid reported that the hemagglutinin closely resembles ...

The structure of a complex of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) with a neutralizing antibody shows that the antibody binds to HA at a distance from the virus receptor binding site. Comparison of the ...

Cambodia faces sudden surge in H5N1 cases, including novel reassortant virus, highlighting zoonotic risks and need for ...

But since then, since the publication of the paper, we’ve been concentrating on the hemagglutinin gene, which is the major surface protein of the virus, which is important in how the cell ...

Paramyxoviruses have two surface glycoproteins, a hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein and a fusion (F) protein. HN has three functions: it recognizes sialic acid-containing receptors on cell ...

Prototype universal influenza vaccines such as this one, a nanoparticle with a protein scaffold (blue) studded with influenza hemagglutinin proteins (green), could provoke an immune response to ...

Like SARS-CoV-2, the influenza virus, which causes flu, is an ssRNA virus. As it spreads, the surface proteins it uses to infect cells (hemagglutinin and neuraminidase) acquire random mutations. Flu ...

The year of isolation (four-digit year for viruses isolated in 2000 or later; two-digit year for viruses isolated during the 1900s); The subtype [16 possible hemagglutinin and 9 possible ...
