INFLUENZA VIRUS HAEMAGGLUTININ-SPECIFIC MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES

摘要

The invention relates to a flu virus hemagglutinin-specific monoclonal antibody which recognizes an antigenic structure present both on the H1 and H3 subtypes of the hemagglutinins of type A flu viruses and on the hemagglutinin of type B flu viruses. Within type B flu viruses, the antigenic structure is present on the hemagglutinins of type B flu viruses belonging to the B/Victoria group and/or to the B/Yagamata group.
