  • Title: [Hemagglutinin antigens of influenza viruses isolated from man and birds].
    Author: Kosiakov PN, Pankratov VS, Rovnova ZI.
    Journal: Vopr Virusol; 1979; (3):242-7. PubMed ID: 88816.
    Abstract:
    Immunological analysis has shown hemagglutinins of avian viruses like hemagglutinins of human viruses to have a complex antigenic composition. Three antigenic determinants were discovered in hemagglutinin of A/Chicken/12/71 virus previously designated H3 and in hemagglutinin of A/Tern/18/73 virus previously designated Hav7. The H3 determinant and the second determinant are identical in avian and A/Hong Kong/1/68 human viruses. In addition, hemagglutinins of avian viruses have a determinant specific for each virus which is lacking in human influenza virus hemagglutinin.
