In-vitro characterization of 2019-24 Influenza B Viruses reveals increased temperature-dependent fitness in later timepoints independent of antigenic drift
Seasonal influenza viruses continually acquire mutations that can alter both their replication efficiency and antigenic properties. While recent seasonal Influenza B viruses (IBV) are characterized as...

Childhood immunological imprinting of cross-subtype antibodies targeting the hemagglutinin head domain of influenza viruses
Influenza virus cross-subtype antibodies targeting the hemagglutinin (HA) head are rare. Here, we found that a large proportion of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) isolated from individuals immunized with...
