Genesis, Evolution and Prevalence of H5N6 Avian Influenza Viruses in China

Yuhai Bi, +31 more
- 14 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis reveals that H5N6 arose from reassortments of H5 and H6N6 viruses, with the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase combinations being strongly lineage specific.

A potent broad-spectrum protective human monoclonal antibody crosslinking two haemagglutinin monomers of influenza A virus

Ying Wu, +24 more
- 21 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: The antibody, designated CT149, was isolated from convalescent patients infected with pandemic H1N1 in 2009 and is found to neutralize all tested group 2 and some group 1 influenza A viruses by inhibiting low pH-induced, HA-mediated membrane fusion.

Influenza at the animal-human interface: a review of the literature for virological evidence of human infection with swine or avian influenza viruses other than A(H5N1).

Gudrun S. Freidl, +21 more
- 08 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: A review of the literature for evidence of human infection with animal influenza viruses by diagnostic methods used found reports of 1,419 naturally infected human cases, of which 648 were associated with avian influenza virus (AIV) A(H5N1), 375 with other AIV subtypes, and 396 with swine influenzairus (SIV).

Universal primer set for the full-length amplification of all influenza A viruses.

Erich Hoffmann, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2001 - 
TL;DR: The resultant primer set is suitable for all influenza A viruses to generate full-length cDNAs, to subtype viruses, to sequence their DNA, and to construct expression plasmids for reverse genetics systems.

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

James Stevens, +5 more
- 21 Apr 2006 - 
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.
