Down
- 1. results from mutation of glycoproteins (H, N)
- 2. resists phagocytosis, contributes to adherence
- 3. contributes to the adherence of the cell wall to the epithelial cells of the pharynx; only gram-positive bacteria have this in their cell wall
- 7. RNA exchange between different influenza viruses
- 9. binds to ciliated cells of the respiratory mucosa via the virus’ hemaggluitin spikes
