The neuraminidase (NA) is released from the infected cells to assist the influenza virus to enter the cells and replicate and spread outward. Elderberry is rich in bioflavonoids and anthocyanins, which can inhibit the activity of HA and NA that destroys cell membrane, thus preventing the invasion and spread of virus.
