Development of a multi-species luciferase-based double antigen ELISA for the detection of antibodies against Influenza A virus H5 clade 2.3.4.4b

This paper develops a multi-species luciferase-based double antigen ELISA for detecting H5 clade 2.3.4.4b-specific antibodies in various species, showing high sensitivity and specificity.

Detection of low pre-existing humoral immunity against influenza virus H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b in unexposed individuals

The paper assesses pre-existing humoral immunity against H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b in unexposed individuals and finds low but distinct cross-neutralizing titers.

Different genetic determinants for high virulence, transmission and replication of high pathogenicity H7N7 avian influenza virus in turkeys and chickens

In turkeys, unlike chickens, the non-structural NS1 protein does not play a significant role in the replication and tissue tropism of the H7N1 avian influenza virus

H7 influenza A viruses bind sialyl-LewisX, a potential intermediate receptor between species

This study shows that NeuGc-adapted H7 IAVs can bind sialyl-LewisX, enabling replication in chickens and ducks despite lacking NeuGc receptors.
