New computational modeling of avian influenza variants’ immunoprotein interactions – developed by a research team at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte – reveals the H5N1 influenza virus is ...
The H5N1 avian influenza virus is mutating to evade immune defenses in mammals following prior infection or vaccination.
Essentially, this means that while 36% of the H5N1 genetic code has diverged, or mutated, two thirds has not – which implies this unchanged genetic coding is serving an important function.
