The potent anti-influenza virus activity of FluPep is mediated by interactions with cellular anionic polysaccharides
FluPep is a 16 amino-acid peptide with potent anti-viral activity against influenza A virus, including the H1N1 subtype. To understand how FluPep exerts its effects, gold nanoparticles were functionalised with FluPep, since gold nanoparticles provide a very sensitive probe that can be detected optically. Our results demonstrate that nanoparticle-FluPep conjugates did not bind to influenza virus…
