Chemical action of influenza virus on the red blood cell membrane. II. Action on membrane lipids and amino acids.
Haemagglutination by influenza virus strains PR8 and Lee as well as treatment of red blood cells by periodate produced numerous and manifold changes in the lipids and the amino acid composition of the erythrocytes. The changes induced by the influenza strains differed from each other and from those induced by periodate. Alterations in the membrane lipids observed after haemagglutination by heat treated strain PR8 and by its native form were identical.
