Carbohydrate determinants in ferret conjunctiva are affected by infection with influenza H1N1 virus
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Carbohydrates often accomplish as cell-surface receptors for microorganisms and influenza virus preferentially binds to sialic acid through the viral haemagglutinin. The virus may attach not only to the epithelium in the airways, but also to the surface ocular epithelium.
