==Overview==
==Overview==
The structure of the hemagglutinin (HA) of a mutant influenza virus that, escapes neutralization by a monoclonal antibody shows that the mutation, causes changes in HA structure which avoid an energetically less favorable, conformation. However, the structure of the mutant HA.Fab complex, indicates that the antibody binds selectively to mutant HA in a wild, type-like distorted conformation. The association of an antibody with a, less favored HA conformation represents an alternative to previously, described mechanisms of escape from neutralization by antibodies.
