Alternative Recognition of the Conserved Stem Epitope in Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin by a V H 3-30-Encoded Heterosubtypic Antibody
10 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: A human monoclonal heterosubtypic antibody, MAb 3.1, with its heavy chain encoded by VH3-30, was isolated using phage display with immobilized hemagglutinin (HA) from influenza virus A/Japan/305/1957(H2N2) as the target. Antibody 3.1 potently neutralizes influenza viruses from the H1a clade (i.e., H1, H2, H5, H6) but has little neutralizing activity against the H1b clade. Its crystal structure in...
