[Effects of remantadine on fusion of lipid membranes of influenza A virus with plasma and internal membranes of lymphoblastic cells].

The method of fluorescence dequenching was used to study the interaction between influenza virus A/Krasnodar/101/59 and Namalwa and Raji lymphoblastoid cells. Experiments with endocytosis inhibitors and fluorescence quenchers have shown that at pH = 5.0 the virus lipid envelopes are fused with the plasma membranes of the cells, and at pH = 7.
