Direct binding of viruses to sialylglycopolymers containing either alpha2,3-linked (blue) or alpha2,6-linked (red) sialic acids was measured. a, Human isolate, Vietnam 2004. b, Virus isolated from duck. ce, Human isolates with capacity to recognize both SAalpha2,6Gal and SAalpha2,3Gal. Data are the mean plusminus s.d. of triplicate experiments.
