## Abstract The highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus is a virulent virus that causes an acute febrile respiratory disease with high mortality in humans. To gain a better insight of H5N1 viral distributions in infected human tissues, the levels of viral RNA were determined in the autopsy

## Abstract In order to identify molecular changes associated with the transmission of avian influenza A H5N1 and H9N2 viruses to humans, the internal genes from these viruses were compared to sequences from other avian and human influenza A isolates. Phylogenetically, each of the internal genes of
## Abstract Microarray analysis of gene expression profile of lungs from two fatal H5N1 influenza cases identified 3,435 genes with higher than twofold changes in mRNA levels as compared to those of normal lung. One thousand nineteen genes and 2,416 genes were upโregulated and downโregulated common
## Abstract The hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A virus plays an essential role in mediating the entry of the virus into host cells. Here, recombinant fullโlength HA5 protein from a H5N1 isolate (A/chicken/hatay/2004(H5N1)) was expressed and purified from the baculovirusโinsect cell system. As expe
## Abstract ## Background Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 can cause acute respiratory infections with an uncontrolled virusโinduced cytokine storm in both poultry and humans. In view of the high mortality of H5N1 influenza virus infection, the development of novel broadโspectrum proph
