Influenza detection and typing: Human influenza virus antibodies
The influenza virus is classified into three groups, A, B and C, based on key differences in the viral nuclear protein (NP). The basic structure of the influenza virus may be seen by clicking on the Images and Data tab below. Influenza virus particles contain head and stem regions that play vital roles in infection: The viral head region contains a receptor domain that binds the host cell, while the viral stem region carries a specific amino acid sequence that is necessary for the fusion of the virus with its host cell.
Influenza virus is further classified into subtypes based on its neuraminidase (NA) and haemagglutinin (HA) differences, both of which are key viral surface glycoproteins. Viral nuclear and glycoproteins are both targeted by human influenza virus antibodies in the process of influenza detection and typing. Currently, several major influenza epidemics have been attributed to influenza A and influenza B, or more specifically influenza A subtype H3 and influenza B subtype H1. These influenza H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes are well-known to result in severe febrile illness.
