Influenza virus A HA gene
Active
Description
The influenza A virus (FLUAV) is a common respiratory virus that infects humans as well as birds, horses, seals, dogs, and pigs. There are eight gene segments that make up the negative single-stranded RNA of the FLUAV. The gene segments are known as PB1, PB2, PA, NP, HA, NA, M, and NS. Hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) have high antigenic variation and are the two glycoproteins on the FLUAV surface that designate its subtype. The subtypes of FLUAV that are currently found within the human population are H1N1 and H3N2. HA and NA subtypes are preserved in the avian species and comprise the pool of virus from which all mammalian FLUAV are drawn. [https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-6-67] Antigenic shift is defined as important antigenic modifications in the HA and/or NA subtype within the human population. Pigs contribute to these antigenic shifts because their trachea contain receptors to both avian and human influenza viruses. The avian and human viruses within the pig trachea replicate in close proximity to one another, and are able to exchange genetic material and thereby create new strains of virus.[http://www.clinlabnavigator.com/influenza-virus-subtypes.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
