Dissection of the influenza A virus endocytic routes reveals macropinocytosis as an alternative entry pathway.

Dissection of the influenza A virus endocytic routes reveals macropinocytosis as an alternative entry pathway.

Influenza A virus (IAV) enters host cells upon binding of its hemagglutinin glycoprotein to sialylated host cell receptors. Whereas dynamin-dependent, clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is generally considered as the IAV infection pathway, some observations suggest the occurrence of an as yet uncha...
