TLDR
Human infections were from a virus clade undergoing antigenic drift that showed resistance to adamantanes but sensitivity to neuraminidase inhibitors.

Structural and Functional Bases for Broad-Spectrum Neutralization of Avian and Human Influenza A Viruses

TL;DR: The crystal structure of one such nAb bound to H5 shows that it blocks infection by inserting its heavy chain into a conserved pocket in the stem region, thus preventing membrane fusion, and suggests that nAb-based immunotherapy is a promising strategy for broad-spectrum protection against seasonal and pandemic influenza viruses.

Structure and Receptor Specificity of the Hemagglutinin from an H5N1 Influenza Virus

TL;DR: The hemagglutinin structure at 2.9 angstrom resolution, from a highly pathogenic Vietnamese H5N1 influenza virus, is more related to the 1918 and other human H1 HAs than to a 1997 duck H5 HA, which suggests a path for this H 5N1 virus to gain a foothold in the human population.

Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1): a Threat to Human Health

TL;DR: The ecology and evolution of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses are reviewed, the pandemic risk is assessed, and aspects of human H 5N1 disease are addressed in relation to its epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innate immunity to influenza virus infection.

TL;DR: Whether the outcome of innate sensor stimulation promotes antiviral resistance or disease tolerance, and proposed rational treatment strategies for the acute respiratory disease that is caused by influenza virus infection are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of H5N1 avian influenza neuraminidase suggests new opportunities for drug design

TL;DR: It may be possible to exploit the size and location of the group-1 cavity to develop new anti-influenza drugs, according to X-ray crystallography, which shows that these two groups of neuraminidases are structurally distinct.

A DNA transfection system for generation of influenza A virus from eight plasmids

TL;DR: An eight-plasmid DNA transfection system for the rescue of infectious influenza A virus from cloned cDNA facilitates the design and recovery of both recombinant and reassortant influenza A viruses, and may also be applicable to the recovery of other RNA viruses entirely from cloning cDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of influenza A viruses entirely from cloned cDNAs

TL;DR: A new reverse-genetics system that allows one to efficiently generate influenza A viruses entirely from cloned cDNAs is described, which should be useful in viral mutagenesis studies and in the production of vaccines and gene therapy vectors.
