Single-virus content mixing assay reveals cholesterol-enhanced influenza membrane fusion efficiency

This paper introduces a single-virus content mixing assay to study influenza membrane fusion efficiency, showing that target membrane cholesterol increases content mixing efficiency and reduces content loss.

Target membrane cholesterol modulates single influenza virus membrane fusion efficiency but not rate

This study develops a receptor-free assay to show that target membrane cholesterol increases IAV fusion efficiency but not rate, independent of receptor binding.
