Influenza A Virus Hemagglutinin (Stem Region) (HA Stem)

Target
HA Stem
Molecular classification
Class I Viral Fusion Protein, Viral Surface Glycoprotein
01

Overview

The stem region of the Influenza A virus hemagglutinin (HA) protein is a highly conserved domain that mediates fusion of the viral and host cell membranes, enabling viral entry. It is a key target for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and a focus for universal influenza vaccine development due to its conservation across different influenza subtypes.
