Hemagglutinin Protein of Influenza B Virus (B Victoria Lineage)

Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral Surface Protein
01

Overview

The hemagglutinin (HA) protein is a major surface glycoprotein of the influenza B virus (B Victoria lineage), responsible for binding to host cell receptors and facilitating viral entry. It is a key target for neutralizing antibodies and a crucial component in vaccine formulations. The Victoria lineage is antigenically distinct from the Yamagata lineage, necessitating their co-inclusion in quadrivalent vaccines.
