H5N1 influenza binding and cell entry via human class II MHC, and blocking by cross-reactive antibodies

2026-07-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary paragraph</h4> Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b viruses are currently responsible for a multi-species outbreak affecting wild birds, poultry, numerous mammalian species, and humans. Influenza A viruses typically initiate infection through binding to sialic acid, although select bat and human influenza viruses can also exploit class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I...
