Description: Influenza, the most common infectious disease, poses a great threat to human health because of its highly contagious nature and fast transmissibility, often leading to high morbidity and mortality. The genome of influenza viruses consists of negative-sense RNA segments encoding viral proteins. The envelope of the virus possesses two major surface glycoproteins, namely, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). NA is a mushroom-shaped tetrameric transmembrane glycoprotein made of four identical subunits. NA is the second major surface glycoprotein present in influenza A and B viruses. The function of NA is to cleave the terminal sialic acid residues present on cell surfaces and progeny virions, facilitating release of the virus from infected cells and thus playing an important role in release and spread of progeny virions.
