[Antigenic determinants in the makeup of the hemagglutinins of influenza virus type A (H3N2) isolated in 1977--1978]. 1980

E I Isaeva, and Z I Rovnova, and M A Iakhno, and P N Kosiakov

Antigenic composition of hemagglutinins (HA) of influenza A viruses isolated during the epidemic of 1977--1978 was studied. Three antigenic determinants of H3.1, H3.5 and H3.7, identical to the determinants of HA of the viruses isolated in 1975, were detected in HA of the viruses isolated in 1977--1978 by means o the HAI test with inhibitor-free and monoreceptor sera. A/South Australia/1/77 virus was an exception in this group of viruses, and its HA contained only two determinants, H3.5 and H3.7, common with the HA of the viruses circulating in 1975. Neither the HAI test nor the biological neutralization tests showed H3.1 in A/South Australia/1/77 virus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.

D053122 Influenza A Virus, H3N2 Subtype A subtype of INFLUENZA A VIRUS comprised of the surface proteins hemagglutinin 3 and neuraminidase 2.
