(2019) 476 , 467–481] provides insight regarding the mechanisms by which MOV10 restricts influenza A virus (IAV) infection in host cells...

... avian influenza virus prevalent since 1997. We screened a phage display library for peptides recognized by one such antibody (8H5). We analysed the specificity of 8H5 for reactive peptides presented as fusion proteins of HBc (hepatitis B core protein) and HEV (hepatitis E virus) structural protein, p239...
