IGKV2-24 and influenza: Influenza infection of ferrets recapitulates key hallmarks of human clinical disease, such as high fever accompanied by sweating, as well as respiratory symptoms such as rhinorrhea and sternutation.35, 36 The shared susceptibility to influenza infection is based on similarity in respiratory tract physiology, where a predominance of α2,6‐linked sialic acid (SA) receptors in the upper respiratory tract of ferrets mimics that of humans,37, 38, 39, 40, 41 unlike α2,3‐SA prevalent in other species such as mice.
