Influenza viral membrane fusion is sensitive to sterol concentration but surprisingly robust to sterol chemical identity

Influenza virions are enriched in cholesterol relative to the plasma membrane from which they bud. Previous work has shown that fusion between influenza virus and synthetic liposomes is sensitive to the amount of cholesterol in either the virus or the target membrane. Here, we test the chemical prop...
