Evolutionarily conserved amino acids in MHC-II mediate bat influenza A virus entry into human cells.

Evolutionarily conserved amino acids in MHC-II mediate bat influenza A virus entry into human cells.

The viral hemagglutinins of conventional influenza A viruses (IAVs) bind to sialylated glycans on host cell surfaces for attachment and subsequent infection. In contrast, hemagglutinins of bat-derived IAVs target major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) for cell entry. MHC-II proteins from...
