The reason you don't see it is not because it isn't there, but apparently because you either 1) haven't done enough DD to see why it is there or 2) need it better explained in terms you can understand so you can see it.

Nanoviricides work by "Trapping virus" by presenting on their surface exact copies (of critical portions) of the receptors that viruses MUST use to infect cells. Viruses cannot enter a cell unless they use certain receptors and unless they can enter a cell, they cannot reproduce and infect.

Many viruses use the same receptors. THis is particularly true of influenza A viruses that ALL use the same two receptors: Neuraminidase (the "N" in HXNX) and Hemagglutinin (the "H" in HXNX). The viral proteins (keys) that attach to the receptors (locks) may change but the locks are always the same.

That's why no matter what version of influenza A virus it is, the exact same FluCide would work for it. The virus MUST attach to the receptor or it cannot infect. But if it attaches to the H or N receptors then it will attach to and be trapped by Flucide.

Bottom line: just because you can't see something (especially at first glance) does not mean it's not there. If others say they can it's a good idea to talk to them rather than discounting it out of hand.
