Unraveling of a Neutralization Mechanism by Two Human Antibodies against Conserved Epitopes in the Globular Head of H5 Hemagglutinin
27 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
The rapid spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus underscores the importance of effective antiviral treatment. Previously, we developed human monoclonal antibodies 65C6 and 100F4 that neutralize almost all (sub)clades of HPAI H5N1. The conserved 65C6 epitope was mapped to the globular head of HA. However, neither the 100F4 epitope nor the neutralization mechanism by these antibodies was...
