Comparative analysis of the sialic acid binding activity and the tropism for the respiratory epithelium of four different strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus

Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a major pathogen in commercial poultry flocks. We recently demonstrated that sialic acid serves as a receptor determinant for IBV on the tracheal epithelium. Here we compared the IBV strains Beaudette, 4/91, Italy02, and QX for their sialic acid-binding pro...
