Antigenic determinants of influenza virus hemagglutinin. V. Antigenicity of the HA2 chain. 1980

L E Brown, and T A Dopheide, and C W Ward, and D O White, and D C Jackson

All the polypeptide fragments obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage of the hemagglutinin from A/Memphis/102/72 influenza virus were examined for their ability to bind to IgG raised against purified virus. Within the hemagglutinin heavy chain the only fragment displaying antigenicity is HA1CN1, which comprises the amino-terminal 168 amino acid residues. By the use of a sensitive radioimmunoassay in which the antigen is unlabeled, it was shown that the light chain is also antigenic. Inhibition studies have localized the activity to the HA2CN1 region, which comprises the carboxy-terminal 90 amino acids. The determinant on HA2 is shown to be subtype specific.

D007147 Immunoglobulin Light Chains Polypeptide chains, consisting of 211 to 217 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. There are two major types of light chains, kappa and lambda. Two Ig light chains and two Ig heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) make one immunoglobulin molecule.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
