A multifunctional human monoclonal neutralizing antibody that targets a unique conserved epitope on influenza HA

Broadly neutralizing antibodies are potential therapeutics and can aid rational vaccine development. Here, the authors show that the human monoclonal antibody H3v-47 recognizes a highly conserved epitope in HA of H3N2 viruses, inhibits virus replication by blocking egress and other mechanisms, and p...
