Identifying novel amino acid substitutions of hemagglutinin involved in virulence enhancement in H7N9 virus strains

BACKGROUND: To identify site-specific features of amino acid substitutions that confer enhanced H7N9 virulence in humans, we independently generated mammalian-adapted variants of A/Anhui/1/2013 (AH-H7N9) and A/Shanghai/2/2013 (SH-H7N9) by serial passaging in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells.
