Biological Significance
H3N2 is a subtype of the influenza A virus. Its name derives from the forms of the two kinds of proteins on the surface of its coat, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). H3N2 viruses can infect birds and mammals. Discovered in 2007 in Missouri pigs, H3N2 has a combination of genes from avian and swine flu viruses, supporting the theory that pigs can serve as a mixing vessel for flu viruses and a potential source for a human pandemic strain.
Implications in Disease
According to studies published in PNAS, researchers found that the H3N2 virus caused illness in experimentally infected mice and was transmissible in swine and ferrets, suggesting it has adapted to mammals.
Sequence Information
Influenza A viruses are negative-sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses. The several subtypes are labeled according to an H number (for the type of hemagglutinin) and an N number (for the type of neuraminidase). There are 18 different known H antigens (H1 to H18) and 11 different known N antigens (N1 to N11).
Bioactivity
Gamma radiation inactivated virus

Product Notes
The Influenza A (Catalog #AAA5308351) is an Active Protein produced from Embryonated chicken eggs; Virus Strain: H3N2 Subtype and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Influenza A, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
