ABSTRACT

Kumar D, Mittal Y. Bird Influenza virus biochemistry and mutants, Onl J Vet Res., 28 (10): 726-732, 2024. Influenza is a viral disease. By internal matrix protein bound to ribonucleoprotein of the genome, antigen yielded influenza viruses A, B and C. The H5N1 genome was found to have eight segments of ribonucleoprotein of single stranded RNA. Each segment codes for a different protein. A major problem is faced in vaccine development against surface antigens because the virus has a very rapid mutation rate. The PB2 gene of segment 1 seems to give an insight to developing a peptide based vaccine for the treatment of bird flu because of a significant mutation at 627 position which has changed the Lys (K) of H1N1 to Glu (E) in H5N1  K627E mutation.
