Implications of localized charge for human influenza A H1N1 hemagglutinin evolution: Insights from deep mutational scans.

Seasonal influenza A viruses of humans evolve rapidly due to strong selection pressures from host immune responses, principally on the hemagglutinin (HA) viral surface protein. Based on mouse transmission experiments, a proposed mechanism for immune evasion consists of increased avidity to host cell...
