The specificity of targeted vaccines for APC surface molecules influences the immune response phenotype. [PDF]
Different diseases require different immune responses for efficient protection. Thus, prophylactic vaccines should prime the immune system for the particular type of response needed for protection against a given infectious agent.

Competitive Elution of Pertussis Hemagglutinin
SummaryThe hemagglutinating factor of Hemophilus pertussis culture supernatants can apparently be eluted from human erythrocytes by suspending such erythrocytes in a distilled-water extract of frozen and thawed red cells. Following the removal of the H. pertussis factor from agglutinated cells, these cells can be re-agglutinated by addition of fresh H.

Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors: Pattern Recognition and Involvement of Carbohydrates
Natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCRs), expressed by natural killer (NK) cells, trigger NK lysis of tumor and virus-infected cells on interaction with cell-surface ligands of these target cells.

Autocatalytic Activation of Influenza Hemagglutinin
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 ...

Serotype C and D of Clostridium botulinum produce botulinum toxin complex (TC), which is comprised of botulinum neurotoxin, nontoxic nonhemagglutinin, and hemagglutinins (HAs).

Fluorescent Trimeric Hemagglutinins Reveal Multivalent Receptor Binding Properties [PDF]
Influenza A virus carries hundreds of trimeric hemagglutinins proteins (HA) on its viral envelope that interact with various sialylated glycans on a host cell.

Antibody-Based Strategies to Prevent and Treat Influenza
Passive immunization using antibodies has been suggested to offer several benefits in comparison to other antiviral treatment options. The potential for seasonal protection arising from a single injection of antibodies is appealing and has been pursued ...

Influenza viruses possess at their surface two glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase, of which the antagonistic functions have to be well balanced for the virus to grow efficiently. Ferraris et al.
