Chi XS, Bolar TV, Zhao P, Tam JS, Rappaport R, Cheng SM. Molecular Evolution of Human Influenza A/H3N2 Virus in Asia and Europe from 2001 to 2003. J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Dec;43(12):6130-6132
Hemagglutinin sequences of 146 human influenza A/H3N2 strains identified in respiratory specimens from Asia and Europe during the 2001-2003 influenza seasons were analyzed by DNA sequencing. Our results suggest that four amino acid substitutions, L25I, H75Q, H155T, and Q156H, led to the antigenic conversion of the previously predominant A/Panama/2007/99-like strains to the more recent A/Fujian/411/2002-like strains.
