In summary, study aims have been achieved. The native conformation of human influenza A hemagglutinin (HA) observed using HS-AFM is ellipsoidal, and it undergoes fusogenic transition in acidic condition to become Y-shape. Direct real-time observation of fusogenic transition suggests that the transition mechanism is likely to fit to the Uncaging Model. HA-exosome interaction is weak in neutral condition but firm in acidic condition. The weak interaction could be mediated by HA-receptor (sialic acid) interaction. In contrast, the firm interaction implies that HA fusion peptide could be released after fusogenic transition, and then inserted into exosomal layer, resulted deformation or rupture of exosomes.
