Hemagglutinin antibody response

It has been also shown that l-(chloromethyl)silatrane does not affect the formation of haemolysins and hemagglutinin antibodies in mice blood in response to immunization with ram erythrocytes.

The oldest, and perhaps most thoroughly studied system of this type is the interaction between the hemagglutinin of influenza virus A and A(-acetylneuraminic acid on cell surfaces. It is responsible not only for the adhesion of the virus to the cells, but also for fusion of the viral membrane with the host cell membrane and is also the viral component to which protective antibody is directed.
