Hemagglutinin (HA ) and neuraminidase (NA) can be seen on the envelope of viral particles. Ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) are located inside the virions. http://www.virology.net/Big_Virology/BVRNAortho.html Influenza Layne et al., Science 293: 1729 (2001) NA (neuraminidase) Lipid bilayer M1 (membrane protein) M2 (ion channel) RNPs (RNA, NP) Transcriptase complex (PB1, PB2 and PA) HA (hemagglutinin) Simplified representation of the influenza virion showing the neuraminidase (NA) glycoprotein, the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein and the matrix M2 protein M2 McClellan and Perry, Drugs 61: 263-283 (2001) Distribution of influenza A hemagglutinin (H) subtypes in nature Figure adapted from Murphy & Webster.
