Interaction of influenza virus haemagglutinin with cell membranes.
Influenza virus causes susceptible cells to undergo haemagglutination, haemolysis and oxygen radical formation. Each activity is the result of an interaction between the haemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein and the cell plasma membrane, and appears to involve three discrete functions of the HA glycoprotein.
