Expression of influenza A virus internal antigens on the surface of infected P815 cells. 1981

J W Yewdell, and E Frank, and W Gerhard

A panel of hybridoma antibodies was used to study the expression of the 2 major internal influenza A virus proteins, matrix protein (M), and nucleoprotein (NP) on the surface of influenza A-infected P815 cells. Using a sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) performed with live infected P815 cells only minute amounts of M were detectable, whereas M was not detected in 3 other cell-surface assays. In contrast, NP was detected in 10-fold greater amounts than M and 10- to 50-fold lower amounts than the viral glycoproteins by RIA. Furthermore, the presence of NP could be demonstrated by immunofluorescence, microcytotoxicity, and agglutination assays performed on live infected cells.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
