01

Overview

Hemagglutinin (HA) is a surface glycoprotein on influenza A viruses, specifically the H1 subtype. It is crucial for viral entry into host cells, mediating receptor binding to sialic acid and membrane fusion. HA is a trimeric protein with a globular head domain for receptor binding and a stem domain for membrane fusion. As the primary target of neutralizing antibodies, HA's rapid evolution necessitates constant vaccine updates. The H1 subtype has been implicated in multiple influenza pandemics, including the 1918 Spanish flu, the 1977 Russian flu, and the 2009 swine-origin pandemic. Its cleavage site sequence and acid stability are key factors influencing pathogenicity and transmissibility.
