Journal Reference: Yuta Tsukamoto et. al. Inhibition of cellular RNA methyltransferase abrogates influenza virus capping and replication. Science, 2023 DOI: 10.1126/science.add0875 ...
Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape-to become either spheres or larger filaments-to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according to ...
Influenza B virus [Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)] Hemagglutinin (HA) Protein, His Tag (Cat. No. HAE-V52H8) binding to RBCs (Rooster red blood cells) at a final concentration of 0.4688 ...
Influenza A is believed to be the most severe type of flu virus for humans, although this is the subject of debate, as there is some evidence to suggest that influenza B might be equally as dangerous.
Protective human monoclonal antibodies target conserved sites of vulnerability on the underside of influenza virus neuraminidase. Immunity, 2024; DOI: 10.1016/j.immuni.2024.02.003 ...
As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains, bird flu is a disease caused by the influenza A virus. At the same time, recent CDC data shows that seasonal influenza A is rising ...
Influenza A can also infect other animals, notably birds (e.g., the H5N1 subtype behind the ongoing outbreak) and pigs (such as in the 2009 H1N1 "Swine Flu" pandemic). In contrast, influenza B can ...
There are two players every flu season: influenza Type A and Type B. Influenza A tends to pop up early in the season and accounts for more than 75 percent of all cases, while influenza B typically ...
The H3N2 avian influenza virus—highly contagious and lethal in the bird population—successfully jump to dogs around 2006. And it hasn’t gone away.
