IFITM3 restricts influenza A virus entry by blocking the formation of fusion pores following virus-endosome hemifusion.
Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) inhibit infection of diverse enveloped viruses, including the influenza A virus (IAV) which is thought to enter from late endosomes. Recent evidence suggests that IFITMs block virus hemifusion (lipid mixing in the absence of viral content release) b...
