Destabilized adaptive influenza variants critical for innate immune system escape are potentiated by host chaperones

The threat of viral pandemics demands a comprehensive understanding of evolution at the host-pathogen interface. Here, we show that the accessibility of adaptive mutations in influenza nucleoprotein at fever-like temperatures is mediated by host chaperones. Particularly noteworthy, we observe that t...
