INFLUENZA VIRUS HAEMAGGLUTININ-SPECIFIC MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES

摘要

The invention relates to an influenza virus haemagglutinin-specific monoclonal antibody that recognises an antigenic structure present both on subtypes H1 and H3 of haemagglutinins of influenza A virus and on the haemagglutinin of influenza B virus. Within influenza B viruses, the antigenic structure is present on the haemagglutinins of the influenza B viruses belonging to group B/Victoria and/or group B/Yamagata.
