Deskripsi

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against influenza hemagglutinin (HA) have yielded insights for antiviral development. Here, the authors employ saturated mutagenesis of the paratope region of a bnAb combined with yeast display screening using H1 and H3 HAs, and find that a tradeoff exists between Ab affinity and breadth that influenced by disparate modes of receptor binding.
