Influenza B Hemagglutinin (Yamagata Lineage) (HA)

Target
HA
Molecular classification
Viral protein, Glycoprotein, Class I viral fusion protein, Antigen
01

Overview

The hemagglutinin (HA) antigen of the Influenza B virus (Yamagata lineage) is a surface glycoprotein responsible for viral entry. It binds to sialic acid receptors on host cells and mediates membrane fusion. HA is a major target for neutralizing antibodies and is a key component of influenza vaccines.

02

Mechanism of action

HA mediates viral entry into host cells. Vaccines stimulate the production of neutralizing antibodies against HA, preventing viral attachment and fusion.

Safety considerations

Antigenic drift can lead to vaccine mismatch.Potential for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), though less likely with influenza B than A

Interacting drugs

NA inhibitors (e.g., Oseltamivir, Zanamivir) - indirectly, by preventing viral release
