A dangerous bird flu, in other words, was suddenly circulating in mammals—mammals with which people have ongoing, extensive ...

The heads of countless hemagglutinin proteins are arrayed on the surface portion of the virus along with another mushroom-shaped influenza protein: neuraminidase. During the process of infection ...

Influenza viruses are covered with two lollipop-shaped proteins called hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, for which the viruses are named (H5N1, for example). These proteins are what allows a virus ...

Very few humans have gone up against bird flu. But we've all dealt with seasonal flu for years. Some of our immune systems might be primed to fend off a worse case, research finds.

The H5N1 avian influenza virus is mutating to evade immune defenses in mammals following prior infection or vaccination.

H5N1 influenza is evolving rapidly, weakening the effectiveness of existing antibodies and increasing its potential threat to ...

If this were to happen, bird flu could potentially start spreading between people. Influenza viruses are covered with two lollipop-shaped proteins called hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which allow ...

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 ...
