Abstract:The enzootic and zoonotic nature of H9N2 avian influenza viruses pose a persistent threat to global poultry industry and human health. This particular subtype influenza virus raises public concerns because it possesses human receptor specificity. In this study, four H9N2 virus strains clustered into the G57-like viruses preferentially bound to SAα2,6 receptors as demonstrated in the results from the receptor-binding assay. The molecular dynamic simulation showed that HAQ226L substitution of H9N2 viruses may al… Show more
