Conserved Neutralizing Epitope at Globular Head of Hemagglutinin in H3N2 Influenza Viruses
9 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Neutralizing antibodies that target the hemagglutinin of influenza virus either inhibit binding of hemagglutinin to cellular receptors or prevent the low-pH-induced conformational change in hemagglutinin required for membrane fusion. In general, the former type of antibody binds to the globular head formed by HA1 and has narrow strain specificity, while the latter type binds to the stem mainly formed...
