This attachment induces virion internalization either through clathrin-dependent endocytosis or through clathrin- and caveolin-independent pathway. Plays a major role in the determination of host range restriction and virulence. Class I viral fusion protein. Responsible for penetration of the virus into the cell cytoplasm by mediating the fusion of the membrane of the endocytosed virus particle with the endosomal membrane. Low pH in endosomes induces an irreversible conformational change in HA2, releasing the fusion hydrophobic peptide. Several trimers are required to form a competent fusion pore.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04072] Binds to sialic acid-containing receptors on the cell surface, bringing about the attachment of the virus particle to the cell. This attachment induces virion internalization of about two third of the virus particles through clathrin-dependent endocytosis and about one third through a clathrin- and caveolin-independent pathway. Plays a major role in the determination of host range restriction and virulence. Class I viral fusion protein.

Here, we describe human antibody C585, isolated from a vaccinee with remarkable serological breadth as measured by hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI). C585 binds and neutralizes multiple H3N2 strains isolated between 1968 and 2016, including strains which emerged up to four years after B cells were isolated from the vaccinated donor. The crystal structure of C585 Fab in complex with the HA from A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (H3N2) shows that the antibody binds to a novel and well-conserved epitope on the globular head of H3 HA, and differs from other antibodies not only in its epitope but in its binding geometry and hypermutated framework 3 region, thereby explaining its breadth and ability to mediate hemagglutination inhibition across decades of H3N2 strains. The existence of epitopes such as the one elucidated by C585 has implications for rational vaccine design.Importance Influenza viruses escape immunity through continuous antigenic changes that occur predominantly on the viral hemagglutinin (HA). Induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAb) targeting conserved epitopes following vaccination is a goal of universal influenza vaccines and advantageous to protecting hosts against virus evolution and antigenic drift. To date, most of the discovered bnAbs bind either to conserved sites in the stem region or to the sialic acid-binding pocket. Generally, antibodies targeting the stem region offer broader breadth with low potency; while antibodies targeting the sialic acid-binding pocket cover narrower breadth but usually have higher potency. In this study, we identified a novel neutralizing epitope in the head region recognized by a broadly neutralizing human antibody against a broad range of H3N2 with high potency. This epitope may provide insights for future universal vaccine design.
