Influenza Hemagglutinin Antigen (HA)

Target
HA
Molecular classification
Glycoprotein, Viral Surface Protein
01

Overview

Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is a trimeric glycoprotein on the surface of influenza viruses. It binds to sialic acid receptors on host cells, initiating infection and facilitating membrane fusion. HA is a key antigen and the primary target for neutralizing antibodies.
