I think I've ever read in my virology book that influenza virus is truly can change its two protein markers which are hemaglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). And this changing process is done in two ways which are via genetic drift and via genetic shift whereas in genetic shift, the virus really ...

... the surface, and with others (i.e. hemagglutinin (HA)) spaced widely apart. The major glycoprotein ( (HA) is interposed irregularly by clusters of neuraminidase (NA), with a ratio of HA to NA of about 4-5 to 1. Lipoprotein membranes enclose the nucleocapsids; nucleoproteins of different size classes ...

... such as amantadine and rimantadine are now relatively useless because strains of the H5N1 virus have developed resistance to these drugs. Neuraminidase inhibitors such as zanamivir and oseltamivir (Tamiflu) are expensive. Tamiflu is in short supply, and many countries have insufficient ...

... (SPM) associated glycoprotein glycans were determined. N-glycans were released by hydrazinolysis, labelled with 2-aminobenzamide, treated with neuraminidase and subsequently fractionated by size exclusion chromatography. Individual fractions were characterized by the combination of high-pressure ...
