Abstract
Two recent publications report the design of immunogens based on the conserved stalk domain of the influenza virus hemagglutinin. These new "headless" hemagglutinin constructs recapitulate the epitopes recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies and induce broadly protective/heterosubtypic immunity in animal models, bringing us a step closer to "universal" influenza virus vaccines.Entities:
