Hemagglutinin protein of Influenza B Victoria lineage

Molecular classification
Surface glycoprotein, Viral protein, Hemagglutinin, Class I viral fusion protein
01

Overview

The hemagglutinin (HA) protein of the Influenza B Victoria lineage is a homotrimeric glycoprotein on the viral surface crucial for host cell attachment and membrane fusion during viral entry. It binds to sialic acid receptors and is a major target for neutralizing antibodies, making it a key component of influenza vaccines. The Victoria lineage HA exhibits high antigenic diversity due to insertions/deletions in its receptor binding site, leading to immune evasion.

02

Mechanism of action

Vaccines elicit neutralizing antibodies that block HA-mediated attachment and fusion. NA inhibitors prevent viral release.
