Illuminating the dark side of neuraminidase in influenza immunity
Abstract
The influenza neuraminidase has historically been understudied compared to its surface protein counterpart, hemagglutinin. In two recent Immunity papers, Hansen et al. and Lei et al. bolster resurging interest in neuraminidase-targeting antibodies and their implications for therapy and "universal" vaccines.
