A Defect in Influenza A Virus Particle Assembly Specific to Primary Human Macrophages
ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV) propagates efficiently in epithelial cells, its primary target in the respiratory tract. In contrast, productive infection of most IAV strains is either blocked or highly inefficient in macrophages. The exact nature of the defect in IAV replication in human macrophag...

ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV) propagates efficiently in epithelial cells, its primary target in the respiratory tract. In contrast, productive infection of most IAV strains is either blocked or highly inefficient in macrophages. The exact nature of the defect in IAV replication in human macrophages remains unknown.
