While not quite the Colonel’s secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, scientists think they may have stumbled upon the correct formula to stop avian influenza virus from spreading in chicken cells grown in vitro. A collaboration of British researchers led by investigators at Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute, released data recently in eLife through an article titled “Species-specific differences in use of ANP32 proteins by influenza A virus (https://elifesciences.org/articles/45066),” in which they used the genome-editing technique CRISPR to delete a section of chicken DNA and prevent the virus from taking hold in the cells.
In the current study, the research team targeted a specific molecule inside chicken cells called ANP32A. Researchers at Imperial College London found that during an infection, flu viruses hijack this molecule to help replicate themselves. Working with experts from the Roslin Institute, the researchers used gene-editing techniques to remove the section of DNA responsible for producing ANP32A.
“We showed that the gene currently designated as avian ANP32B is evolutionarily distinct from mammalian ANP32B, and that chicken ANP32B does not support influenza A virus (IAV) polymerase activity even of human-adapted viruses,” the authors wrote. “Consequently, IAV relies solely on chicken ANP32A to support its replication in chicken cells. Amino acids 129I and 130N, accounted for the inactivity of chicken ANP32B. Transfer of these residues to chicken ANP32A abolished support of IAV polymerase.”
Avian flu is a major threat to farmed chickens worldwide, with severe strains killing up to 100% of birds in a flock. In rare instances, certain variations of the virus can infect people and cause serious illness. Efforts to control the spread of the disease are urgently needed.

I bet it tastes like chicken.  (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)

More childishness from Davik!

Seems he is still a two year old!

WTF!!!!! Proud Dil²Do is telling us that flu exists!!!!  Doesn't he know that flu is a hoax contrived by the Deep State to ensnare good Americans though the use of fake cures for the fake diseases???

and I thought you were against vaccines d2.

There you go again pretending to think!

so you're not against all vaccines, only certain ones. 

You never bothered to read the article I linked to!

Your responses confirm it!

Read the article and get back to me!

Don't listen to Proud Dil²Do!!!!! He has fallen for a Deep State plot!!!!!  He wants to suck you in!!!!!

d2's a pip.

You never bothered to read the article I linked to!

Your responses confirm it!

Read the article and get back to me!

Nutwit here only responds with childish name calling when he can’t refute the facts listed that reveal

he is nothing but a lying leftist propaganda believing  stooge, D2D (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/cheesy.gif)


But you already knew that, dint cha ???

Yep!

I'm still not understanding why you support vaccinations suddenly d2.

You never bothered to read the article I linked to!

Your responses confirm it!

Read the article and get back to me!

now you're just repeating yourself.

Because it didn't sink in the first time!

Read the damned article!
