Influenza A virus causes seasonal epidemics, sporadic pandemics and is a significant
global health burden. Influenza virus is an enveloped virus that contains a segmented …

Many enveloped viruses complete their replication cycle by forming vesicles that bud from
the plasma membrane. Some viruses encode “late”(L) domain motifs that are able to hijack …

Influenza virus remains a global health threat, with millions of infections annually and the
impending threat that a strain of avian influenza may develop into a human pandemic …

Influenza viruses encoding hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) glycoproteins with
deletions in one or both cytoplasmic tails (HAt− or NAt−) have a reduced association with …

For influenza virus, we developed an efficient, noncytotoxic, plasmid-based virus-like
particle (VLP) system to reflect authentic virus particles. This system was characterized …

Human influenza virus evolves to escape neutralization by polyclonal antibodies. However,
we have a limited understanding of how the antigenic effects of viral mutations vary across …

The cytoplasmic tail of the influenza A virus M2 proton-selective ion channel has been
shown to be important for virus replication. Previous analysis of M2 cytoplasmic tail …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 can be inactivated by ultraviolet
(UV) radiation. However, there are few data available on the relative efficacy of different …

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight single-stranded negative-sense RNA (vRNA)
segments. Although genome segmentation provides advantages such as genetic …

The Influenza A virus genome consists of eight negative sense, single-stranded RNA
segments. Although it has been established that most virus particles contain a single copy of …
