Introduction
Scientific advancements have enabled antibodies that identify non-changing structures of the protein of influenza haemagglutinin (HA) to be identifiable. This development has strengthened the efforts of developing universal influenza vaccines. The goal of this research is to find out how HA stimulates naïve B cells into maturation and induces protective immunity. The researchers chose to investigate this phenomenon because the antibodies that can be used for the vaccine derive from a particular antibody gene of the region IGHV1-69. Currently, the manner in which influenza haemagglutinin stimulates naïve B cells into maturation and protective immunity remains unknown. This essay ...
