Antigenic and structural analysis of the influenza hemagglutinin lateral patch
ABSTRACT The lateral patch epitope of the H1 hemagglutinin (HA) was a dominant target of antibodies following exposure to the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus. However, the conservation and mechanisms of antigenic drift in the lateral patch remain unresolved. Here, we used lateral patch-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to...
