Rapid estimation of binding activity of influenza virus hemagglutinin to human and avian receptors.

Rapid estimation of binding activity of influenza virus hemagglutinin to human and avian receptors.

A critical step for avian influenza viruses to infect human hosts and cause epidemics or pandemics is acquisition of the ability of the viral hemagglutinin (HA) to bind to human receptors. However, current global influenza surveillance does not monitor HA binding specificity due to a lack of rapid a...
