Antiviral susceptibility of avian and swine influenza virus of the N1 neuraminidase subtype.
...
Published in Journal of Virology
Influenza viruses of the N1 neuraminidase (NA) subtype affecting both animals and humans caused the 2009 pandemic. Anti-influenza virus NA inhibitors are crucial early in a pandemic, when specific influenza vaccines are unavailable. Thus, it is urgent to confirm the antiviral susceptibility of the avian viruses, a potential source of a pandemic vir...
Structural and biochemical basis for development of influenza virus inhibitors targeting the PA endonuclease.
Published in PLoS Pathogens
Emerging influenza viruses are a serious threat to human health because of their pandemic potential. A promising target for the development of novel anti-influenza therapeutics is the PA protein, whose endonuclease activity is essential for viral replication. Translation of viral mRNAs by the host ribosome requires mRNA capping for recognition and ...
