Hemagglutinin 222D/G polymorphism facilitates fast intra-host evolution of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza A viruses.

The amino acid substitution of aspartic acid to glycine in hemagglutinin (HA) in position 222 (HA-D222G) as well as HA-222D/G polymorphism of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza viruses (A(H1N1)pdm09) were frequently reported in severe influenza in humans and mice. Their impact on viral pathogenicity and...
