Variation and Molecular Basis for Enhancement of Receptor Binding of H9N2 Avian Influenza Viruses in China Isolates

Currently, H9N2 avian influenza viruses (H9N2 AIVs) globally circulate in poultry and have acquired some adaptation to mammals. However, it is not clear what the molecular basis is for the variation in receptor-binding features of the H9N2 AIVs. The receptor-binding features of 92 H9N2 AIVs prevalen...
