Wednesday, June 26, 2024 NIAID Scientists Use Special Antibodies to Discover a Potent Antibody That Neutralizes Influenza A Viruses 3D molecular model of an anti-idiotypic antibody (left, in pink and red) bound to the L5A7 antibody (right, in cyan and blue). Credit: NIAID NIAID scientists discovered a new, potent antibody that can neutralize a broad range of influenza type A viruses. The antibody, L5A7, was isolated using a special type of antibody called "anti-idiotypic," which recognizes desired features on other antibodies. The researchers say the newly discovered antibody could be used to develop improved diagnostics and therapeutics for a broad range of flu viruses. The findings were published in Frontiers in Immunology. Learn More National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases  |  National Institutes of Health
