The strip test could detect the receptor binding specificity of a wide range of influenza viruses, as well as small increases in the binding affinity of variant H5N1 viruses to α2,6 sialylglycans at viral titers >128 hemagglutination units. In conclusion, the immunochromatographic strip test developed in this study should be useful for monitoring potential changes in the receptor binding specificity of group 1 influenza A viruses in the field. In this study, we developed a new easy-to-use immunochoromatographic strip test to detect the emergence of AI viruses with increased human-type receptor specificity and confirmed the applicability of this test using AI viruses isolated in several different geographic areas. ./cache/cord-281061-uoszpnst.txt ./txt/cord-281061-uoszpnst.txt
