Abstract excerpt
The primary structure of hemagglutinin of the members of three main antigenic groups of current influenza A (H3N2) viruses was determined. A phenomenon of "antigenic mimicry" was found to be due to the accumulation of reversions in hemagglutinin structure at late stages of antigenic drift.
