The paper measures antibody avidity to influenza HA at varying densities and identifies HA flexibility as a factor influencing antibody binding.

The paper shows ciliated airway cells activate influenza HA more efficiently than non-ciliated cells, and HA activation occurs intracellularly in the Golgi, affecting antiviral protease inhibitor efficacy.

This study investigates how antibodies affect B cell receptor access to viral epitopes, finding that proximity, affinity, and valency influence epitope masking.

This study genetically recodes respiratory syncytial virus to label its nucleoprotein, revealing pathways for viral assembly.
