Mapping person-to-person variation in viral mutations that escape polyclonal serum targeting influenza hemagglutinin

A longstanding question is how influenza virus evolves to escape human immunity, which is polyclonal and can target many distinct epitopes. Here, we map how all amino-acid mutations to influenza’s major surface protein affect viral neutralization by polyclonal human sera. The serum of some individua...
