THE Department of Agriculture (DA) has lifted a temporary ban on the importation of domestic and wild birds, as well as poultry products from the Netherlands after it was declared free of avian ...

Since the H5N1 avian influenza virus was first identified in a dairy cow on a U.S. farm in March last year, more than 1,000 herds across 17 states have been infected.

"H5N1 reassorts with other avian influenza viruses quite frequently and even the current H5 HA protein that is infecting dairy cows and commercial poultry farms in the US has been shown to ...

Enhancing cross-protection against influenza by heterologous sequential immunization with mRNA LNP and protein nanoparticle vaccines Go to source). The study, published in the journal Nature ...

In virology speak, the virus is of the Influenza A type, and is called H5N1. The “H” stands for the protein Hemagglutinin (HA), of which there are 16 subtypes (H1-H16).

Influenza NA is a surface protein containing a globular head portion and a narrow stalk portion. The underside of the NA head contains a highly conserved region with targets for antibodies that make ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified antibodies targeting a hard-to-spot region of the influenza virus, shedding light on the relatively unexplored “dark side” of the ...

Influenza NA is a surface protein containing a globular head portion and a narrow stalk portion. The underside of the NA head contains a highly conserved region with targets for antibodies—known as ...

Their study in mice sheds light on the unexplored “dark side” of the neuraminidase (NA) protein head, that is common among many influenza viruses, including H3N2 subtype viruses, and could be ...

The researchers isolated human antibodies that target the NA dark side from the blood of two people who had recovered from influenza type A subtype H3N2, a major subtype of seasonal flu viruses ...

Researchers have identified antibodies targeting a hard-to-spot region of the influenza virus, shedding light on the relatively unexplored 'dark side' of the neuraminidase (NA) protein head. The ...

The antibodies target a region of the NA protein that is common among many influenza viruses, including H3N2 subtype viruses, and could be a new target for countermeasures.
