Abstract: In addition to the PBC site, we identified three other mutations that are important for host-adaptation and virulence in mice: HA (A452T), PA (D347G), and PB2 (M483K).
Method: Amino acid mutations in HA (A452T, H7 HA numbering with the signal peptide included), PA (D347G), and PB2 (M483K) were also inserted into each respective pPol vector by PCR using PrimeSTAR Max and in-fusion cloning.
