To analyze the role played by free sialic acid in the binding of OVM to HA, further experiments were carried out with different sequences of additions. Based on the above results, it was found that free sialic acid enhances the binding of OVM to influenza virus HA. It is indicating that sialic acid is involved in the binding of OVM to influenza virus, and additional free sialic acid could enhance the OVM antiviral process. The hemagglutinin of the influenza virus recognizes and binds to the ovomucin carbohydrate chain terminal sialic acid, and the interaction is greatly diminished after the sialic acid is removed. The addition of free sialic acid can promote the binding of ovomucin to hemagglutinin and enhance ovomucin anti-influenza virus activity. ./cache/cord-262036-wig4wdno.txt ./txt/cord-262036-wig4wdno.txt
