2.2 Viruses and viruses infection<br />
2.2.1 Influenza viruses<br />
1. rWSN: Recombinant wild-type influenza A virus (A/WSN/33) generated and<br />
provided by Dr. Dave Jackson (<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> St Andrews).<br />
2. rUd: Recombinant wild-type influenza A virus (A/Udorn/72) generated and<br />
provided by Dr. Dave Jackson (<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> St Andrews).<br />
3. rUd-Y89F: recombinant Udorn virus expressing NS1 with the Y89F amino-acid<br />
substitution. Generated and provided by D. Jackson, Northwestern <strong>University</strong>,<br />
USA (Hale et al., 2006).<br />
4. rUd-P164/7A: The NS1 protein carries two amino acid substitutions at positions<br />
164 and 167 that are reported to abrogate PI3K binding (Shin et al., 2007).<br />
5. rUd-P162/4/7A: The NS1 protein carries three amino acid substitutions at<br />
positions 162, 164 and 167. Virus isolation took much longer than for other<br />
mutants, and was initially a mixed population <strong>of</strong> virus, also containing rUd NS1-<br />
Δ99.<br />
6. rUd-Δ99: This virus encodes an NS1 protein carrying only amino acids 1-98, and<br />
was isolated during rescue <strong>of</strong> the rUd-P162/164/167A virus.<br />
7. rUd-184-8(L): At positions 184-188, five amino acids, GLEWN have been<br />
substituted for RFLRY. This mutation eliminates the binding site for CPSF30<br />
(Noah et al., 2003). This virus took much longer to rescue than other mutants, and<br />
isolated virus was initially a mixed population, also containing rUd -184-8(P).<br />
8. rWSN-Y89F: recombinant WSN virus expressing NS1 with the Y89F amino acid<br />
substitution. Generated and provided by D. Jackson Northwestern <strong>University</strong>,<br />
USA (Hale et al., 2006).<br />
9. rUd-184-8(P): Isolated during the rescue <strong>of</strong> rUd-184-8(L). rUd-184-8(P) differs<br />
from rUd-184-8(L) at position 186, where it carries a proline instead <strong>of</strong> a leucine<br />
residue.<br />
