Host tissue and glycan binding specificities of avian viral attachment proteins using novel avian tissue microarrays.

The initial interaction between viral attachment proteins and the host cell is a critical determinant for the susceptibility of a host for a particular virus. To increase our understanding of avian pathogens and the susceptibility of poultry species, we developed novel avian tissue microarrays (TMAs...
