Influenza virus replication cycle. The virus is endocytosed after initial binding of the HA to host cell sialic acid receptors. Acidification of the cleaved HA facilitates approximation of viral and endosomal membranes and release of RNP. Transcription follows importation of RNPs into the nucleus. Assembly occurs at the apical surface of the host cell where budding and release occur. Adapted from [1] and kindly provided by M.L. Shaw. See text for detail
