Identifying Discriminative Amino Acids Within the Hemagglutinin of Human Influenza A H5N1 Virus Using a Decision Tree Recently, the H5N1 virus has had an increasingly important impact on human life.

This valuable manuscript describes the immunogenicity of a bead-on-a-string immunogen that allows the inclusion of multiple HA subtypes. The evidence to support the claims is convincing, and more ...

This hook-like molecule, called hemagglutinin, is the principal antigen in the influenza vaccine. The standard flu vaccine contains a mix of four versions of hemagglutinin — one for each of four ...

A study published in Science looks at a mutation in bovine influenza (H5N1) hemagglutinin (HA) which could switch binding specificity to human receptors. Prof Ian Brown, Dr Thomas Peacock and Prof ...

The study authors focused on altering one of H5N1’s surface proteins, hemagglutinin, which contains the binding site that allows the virus to latch onto host cell receptors and kick-start infection.

As of now, 17 states have reported H5N1 bird flu cases in humans, but there is still no evidence for transmission between ...

An experimental influenza vaccine carrying more than 80,000 variations of hemagglutinin antigens caused the immune system of mice and ferrets to respond more strongly to less variable portions of ...

Influenza strains are referred to by a shorthand code, H5N1 for example, that describes which flavors of two particular surface proteins it carries. The H (sometimes HA), is hemagglutinin, a ...
