A 2022 avian H5N1 influenza A virus from clade 2.3.4.4b attaches to and replicates better in human respiratory epithelium than a 2005 H5N1 virus from clade 2.3.2.1

Lisa Bauer, Lonneke M. E. Leijten, Matteo Iervolino…·Debby A.J. van Riel

This study compares the attachment and replication efficiency of a 2022 H5N1 avian influenza virus with a 2005 strain in human respiratory epithelium, finding the 2022 virus replicates more efficiently.

A vaccine antigen central in influenza A(H5) virus antigenic space confers subtype-wide immunity

Adinda Kok, Samuel H. Wilks, Sina Türeli…·Mathilde Richard

The paper creates a high-resolution antigenic map of A(H5) HA and uses it to design vaccine antigens that confer broad immunity against diverse A(H5) viruses.
