Complementary recognition of the receptor-binding site of highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza viruses by two human neutralizing antibodies

Abstract excerpt

The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 is a major threat to global public health and therefore a high-priority target of current vaccine development. The receptor-binding site (RBS) on the globular head of hemagglutinin (HA) in the viral envelope is one of the major target sites for antibody recognition against H5N1 and other influenza viruses. Here, we report the identification and characterization of...
