Questions and Answers

What are the functions of the HA and NA proteins in the envelope of Influenza viruses?

The hemagglutinin (HA) protein binds to the cell surface receptor (sialic acid) to initiate infection and is the target of neutralizing antibodies. The neuraminidase (NA) protein cleaves neuraminic acid (sialic acid) to release progeny virus from the infected cell.

What is the genome type of Orthomyxoviruses and where does replication occur?

Orthomyxoviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome, segmented into eight molecules, with negative sense polarity. Replication occurs in the nucleus of the infected cell.
