A Polymorphism in the Hemagglutinin of the Human Isolate of a Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Influenza Virus Determines Organ Tropism in Mice

We characterized a human H5N1 virus isolate (KAN-1) encoding a hemagglutinin (HA) with a K-to-E substitution at amino acid position 222 that was previously described to be selected in the lung of the infected patient. In mice, the growth of the HA(222E)-encoding virus was mainly confined to the lung...
