| Technology Name (St. Jude Reference #) |
Diagnostic for Influenza Virulence (SJ-11-0029) |
| Description | Our researchers have identified 4 amino acid residues within the influenza A virus PB1-F2 protein that are excellent predictors of the virulence of the associated virus strain. This discovery can be used to develop a simple diagnostic test to detect virulent influenza strains within a virus sample. |
| Keywords | Influenza, virulence, PB1-F2 |
| Granted Patents or Published Applications | U.S. application pending |
