Hemagglutinin (Influenza type-B) (HA (Influenza B))

Target
HA (Influenza B)
Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral Surface Protein, Receptor Ligand
01

Overview

Hemagglutinin (HA) is the major surface glycoprotein of the influenza B virus, essential for viral entry into host cells. It mediates receptor binding and membrane fusion. HA is a key target for neutralizing antibodies, but its rapid evolution necessitates frequent vaccine updates.
