Haemagglutinin viral surface protein C015 / 7123
Haemagglutinin viral surface protein. Molecular model of haemagglutinin, a surface protein from the influenza virus, complexed with a neutralising antibody. Haemagglutinins function is to bind to the surface of its target cell and allow the viral genes into the cell, where replication occurs. There are 16 different types of haemagglutinin known, numbered 1-16. H1, H2 and H3 are found in human flu viruses, the rest mainly affect birds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of Haemagglutinin viral surface protein C015/7123, a key component of the influenza virus. The image depicts a detailed illustration of this glycoprotein, which is responsible for binding to target cells and facilitating viral gene entry for replication. With its white background and precise surface representation, the photograph provides an excellent visual aid for studying this vital biological mechanism. Haemagglutinin plays a crucial role in the immune response against influenza viruses by acting as an antigenic target for neutralizing antibodies. This particular molecular model features haemagglutinin complexed with one such antibody, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic inhibitor against flu infections. It is worth noting that there are 16 different types of haemagglutinin known, numbered from 1 to 16. While H1, H2, and H3 variants primarily affect humans during flu outbreaks, other types predominantly impact avian populations. The artwork presented here not only serves as a valuable resource in virology research but also demonstrates the intersection between biology and chemistry within the field of medicine. By providing insight into the structure and function of haemagglutinin at a molecular level, this image contributes to our understanding of how viruses interact with their host cells—an essential step towards developing effective treatments and preventive measures against influenza.
