Scientists have engineered a monoclonal antibody that can protect mice from a lethal dose of influenza A, a new study shows. The new molecule combines the specificity of a mature flu fighter with the ...

While current influenza vaccines primarily target the variable hemagglutinin protein, the slower-evolving neuraminidase presents a promising target for the development of new vaccines providing ...

"We chose this specific antibody because it targets a part of the influenza virus called the stalk region of the hemagglutinin protein, which stays the same across different flu strains.
