N-linked glycosylation sites with low occupancy support sustained circulation of the A(H3N2) influenza A virus in the human population
It is suggested that the temporary introduction of sites with low glycosylation allows influenza viruses to reduce the immune pressure on antigenic and receptor binding sites of hemagglutinin without significantly compromising viral virulence.
