Bacterially produced recombinant influenza vaccines based on virus-like particles. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Although current influenza vaccines are effective in general, there is an urgent need for the development of new technologies to improve vaccine production timelines, capacities and immunogenicity.

Antigenic determinants in influenza virus hemagglutinin [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1979
Three antigenic determinants were revealed in H3 hemagglutinin of influenza A viruses isolated from 1968 to 1975. One of them was common for all viruses, and two others specified differences between the viruses possessing H3 hemagglutinin.

Heterologous prime-boost vaccination with H3N2 influenza viruses of swine favors cross-clade antibody responses and protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The emergence of multiple novel lineages of H1 and H3 influenza A viruses in swine has confounded control by inactivated vaccines. Because of substantial genetic and geographic heterogeneity among circulating swine influenza viruses, one vaccine strain ...

Influenza Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase Membrane Glycoproteins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
Considerable progress has been made toward understanding the structural basis of the interaction of the two major surface glycoproteins of influenza A virus with their common ligand/substrate: carbohydrate chains terminating in sialic acid. The specificity of virus attachment to target cells is mediated by hemagglutinin, which acquires characteristic ...

One-way trip: Influenza virus' adaptation to gallinaceous poultry may limit its pandemic potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We hypothesise that some influenza virus adaptations to poultry may explain why the barrier for human-to-human transmission is not easily overcome once the virus has crossed from wild birds to chickens.

Influenza’s Newest Trick

open access: yesmBio, 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

Prediction of specific virus outbreaks made from the increased concentration of a new class of virus genomic peptides, replikins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Advance warning of pathogen outbreaks has not been possible heretofore. A new class of genomic peptides associated with rapid replication was discovered and named replikins. Software was designed to analyze replikins quantitatively.

Autocatalytic Activation of Influenza Hemagglutinin

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 2006
Enveloped viruses contain surface proteins that mediate fusion between the viral and target cell membranes following an activating stimulus. Acidic pH induces the influenza virus fusion protein hemagglutinin (HA) via irreversible refolding of a trimeric conformational state leading to exposure of hydrophobic fusion peptides on each trimer subunit ...

Original antigenic sin priming of influenza virus hemagglutinin stalk antibodies

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Humans are typically infected with influenza viruses in childhood and then continuously exposed to antigenically distinct influenza virus strains throughout life.

Contemporary Avian Influenza A Virus Subtype H1, H6, H7, H10, and H15 Hemagglutinin Genes Encode a Mammalian Virulence Factor Similar to the 1918 Pandemic Virus H1 Hemagglutinin

open access: yesmBio, 2014
Zoonotic avian influenza virus infections may lead to epidemics or pandemics. The 1918 pandemic influenza virus has an avian influenza virus-like genome, and its H1 hemagglutinin was identified as a key mammalian virulence factor.
