The influenza A virus M2 protein is expressed abundantly at the cell surface, and in addition to the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), is a 3rd virus-specific membrane protein. M2 has an internal hydrophobic membrane anchorage domain and associates with the same cellular membrane fractions as HA and NA. Trypsin treatment of infected CV-1 cells and immunoprecipitation with site-specific antisera indicate that a minimum of 18 NH2-terminal amino acids of M2 are exposed at the cell surface. Ten NH2-terminal residues are conserved in all strains of influenza A virus for which sequences are available. Antibodies can recognize M2 on the cell surface and therefore it may be an infected-cell surface antigen. Properties of M2 that match it to the elusive major target molecule on influenza A virus-infected cells for crossreactive cytotoxic T cells are discussed.
