Vaccination with antigenically complex hemagglutinin mixtures confers broad protection from influenza disease.
Journal article Sci Transl Med · May 2024 Current seasonal influenza virus vaccines induce responses primarily against immunodominant but highly plastic epitopes in the globular head of the hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein. Because of viral antigenic drift at these sites, vaccines need to be update ...

Journal article J Virol · April 26, 2021 The development of improved and universal anti-influenza vaccines would represent a major advance in the protection of human health. In order to facilitate the development of such vaccines, understanding how viral proteins can contribute to protection from ...
