Abstract excerpt
Human influenza viruses are subject to continuous antigenic drift and this phenomenon poses great problems for the annual production of vaccines which should ideally be manufactured from strains closely matching the predominant strains of the coming influenza season. We have investigated the dynamics of antigenic and genetic changes in the hemagglutinins of circulating influenza A/H3N2 strains in three...
