Abstract: Although the
H274Y and
N294S mutations did not compromise the replication efficiency of VN1203 or PR8 viruses in vitro, these mutations slightly reduced the lethality of PR8 virus in mice.
Abstract: Four
NA mutations (
E119G,
H274Y,
R292K, and
N294S) that have been reported to confer resistance to
NA inhibitors were each introduced into recombinant A/Vietnam/1203/04 (VN1203) H5N1 influenza virus.
Abstract: However, the VN1203 virus carrying either the
H274Y or
N294S mutation exhibited lethality similar to that of the wild-type VN1203 virus.
