Deskripsi
Current influenza vaccine approaches largely focus on highly variable epitopes with high immunogenicity or epitopes of low variability that often have low immunogenicity. Here, Thompson et al. identify a highly immunogenic epitope of limited variability in the head domain of the H1 haemagglutinin and show protection from diverse H1N1 strains in mice.
