Alveolar macrophages are critical for broadly-reactive antibody-mediated protection against influenza A virus in mice

Broadly reactive antibodies that recognize influenza A virus HA can be protective, but the mechanism is not completely understood. Here, He et al. show that the inflammatory response and phagocytosis mediated by the interaction between protective antibodies and macrophages are essential for protecti...
