Influenza A virus reproduction in humanendometrial cells

Abstract

Study of replication of influenza A viruses (IAV) of A(H3N2) and A(H1N1)pdm subtypes in human endometrial cells was performed. It was shown that endometrial infection with IAV strongly depends on the multiplicity of infection and causes substantial changes in functional activities of these cells. Moreover endometrial cells of proliferative phase (day 8) were more sensitive to IAV infection than cells from secretory phase of menstrual cycle on day 19th.
