Glycosylation at 11Asn on hemagglutinin of H5N1 influenza virus contributes to its biological characteristics

Abstract A stem glycosylation site of hemagglutinin (HA) is important to the stability of the HA trimmer. A previous study shows that the stem 10/11 overlap glycosylation site of the H5 subtype avian influenza virus may influence the cleavage of HA, whereas the exact site and its effect on virulence...
