Glycomic Analysis of Human Respiratory Tract Tissues and Correlation with Influenza Virus Infection

The first step in influenza infection of the human respiratory tract is binding of the virus to sialic (Sia) acid terminated receptors. The binding of different strains of virus for the receptor is determined by the α linkage of the sialic acid to galactose and the adjacent glycan structure. In this...
