Proteomic Analysis of Avian Influenza A (H7N9) Patients within a Family Cluster.

Background: To date, there is limited information on the progression of human infections of avian influenza virus A (H7N9). This study investigated differential blood protein profiling of a H7N9-infected family cluster to find a slice of crucial proteins concerning disease attack and virus clearance.

Materials And Methods: Plasma samples from one family cluster (including one index case and one asymptomatic case) were collected at four time points.
