Heterogeneous Activated B Cell Compartments Arising Early and Transiently After SARS‐CoV‐2 Vaccination

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 3, March 2026.
Characterization of the early antigen‐specific B cell response post‐SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccination reveals novel activated B cell clusters, showing different phenotypes and contraction dynamics. Some short‐lived activated B cells expressed both CD71 and the extrafollicular marker CD11c.

Evolution of H5N1 Cross‐Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian‐to‐Human Infection

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need

Impact of host cell line adaptation on quasispecies composition and glycosylation of influenza A virus hemagglutinin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The genome of influenza A viruses is constantly changing (genetic drift) resulting in small, gradual changes in viral proteins. Alterations within antibody recognition sites of the viral membrane glycoproteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA ...

Genetic characterization of influenza A(H3N2) viruses circulating in coastal Kenya, 2009-2017 [PDF]

, 2020
Background Influenza viruses evolve rapidly and undergo immune driven selection, especially in the hemagglutinin (HA) protein. We report amino acid changes affecting antigenic epitopes and receptor‐binding sites of A(H3N2) viruses circulating in Kilifi,

Aptamer‐Based Approaches for Influenza Virus Detection: A Systematic Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Influenza remains a globally prevalent respiratory infection that is challenging to diagnose accurately. This systematic review focuses on aptamer‐based tools for influenza virus detection, aiming to overcome the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods.

Man-Specific, GalNAc/T/Tn-Specific and Neu5Ac-Specific Seaweed Lectins as Glycan Probes for the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Coronavirus

Marine Drugs, 2020
Seaweed lectins, especially high-mannose-specific lectins from red algae, have been identified as potential antiviral agents that are capable of blocking the replication of various enveloped viruses like influenza virus, herpes virus, and HIV-1 in vitro.

The post-2009 influenza pandemic era : time to revisit antibody immunodominance [PDF]

, 2018
The current inactivated influenza vaccines rely on the induction of neutralizing antibodies against the head domain of the viral hemagglutinin (HA). The HA head contains five immunodominant antigenic sites, all of which are subject to antigenic drift ...
