Influenza Antigens NP and M2 Confer Cross Protection to BALB/c Mice against Lethal Challenge with H1N1, Pandemic H1N1 or H5N1 Influenza A Viruses

Viruses, 2021
Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is considered a major protective antigen of seasonal influenza vaccine but antigenic drift of HA necessitates annual immunizations using new circulating HA versions. Low variation found within conserved non-HA influenza virus

Hemagglutinin sequence conservation guided stem immunogen design from influenza A H3 subtype [PDF]

, 2015
Seasonal epidemics caused by influenza A (H1 and H3 subtypes) and B viruses are a major global health threat. The traditional, trivalent influenza vaccines have limited efficacy because of rapid antigenic evolution of the circulating viruses.

Structural Biology of Influenza Hemagglutinin: An Amaranthine Adventure

Viruses, 2020
Hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein is an important focus of influenza research due to its role in antigenic drift and shift, as well as its receptor binding and membrane fusion functions, which are indispensable for viral entry.

Autoreactivity of Broadly Neutralizing Influenza Human Antibodies to Human Tissues and Human Proteins

Viruses, 2020
Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (bNAbs) against conserved domains in the influenza hemagglutinin are in clinical trials. Several next generation influenza vaccines designed to elicit such bNAbs are also in clinical development.

Structural and functional relationship between the receptor recognition and neuraminidase activities of the Newcastle disease virus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein: Receptor recognition is dependent on neuraminidase activity [PDF]

, 2001
The terminal globular domain of the paramyxovirus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein spike has a number of conserved residues that are predicted to form its neuraminidase (NA) active site, by analogy to the influenza virus neuraminidase ...

Influenza’s Newest Trick

mBio, 2019
Influenza A viruses are important pathogens for humans and for many birds and mammals. Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase are the major surface proteins of this enveloped RNA virus. Hemagglutinin requires proteolytic cleavage for activation, but because the

Detection of Antibodies against H5 and H7 strains in Birds: Evaluation of Influenza Pseudovirus Particle Neutralization Tests [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Avian influenza viruses circulate in bird populations, and it is important to maintain and uphold our knowledge of the viral strains that are currently of interest in this context.

Adjuvant-free immunization with hemagglutinin-Fc fusion proteins as an approach to influenza vaccines [PDF]

, 2011
The hemagglutinins (HAs) of human H1 and H3 influenza viruses and avian H5 influenza virus were produced as recombinant fusion proteins with the human immunoglobulin Fc domain.

An immuno-assay to quantify influenza virus hemagglutinin with correctly folded stalk domains in vaccine preparations.

PLoS ONE, 2018
The standard method to quantify the hemagglutinin content of influenza virus vaccines is the single radial immunodiffusion assay. This assay primarily relies on polyclonal antibodies against the head domain of the influenza virus hemagglutinin, which is ...
