Influenza A virus enhances IgE-mediated histamine release from human basophil leukocytes. Examination of the effect of viral neuraminidase and haemagglutinin
Histamine release caused by anti-IgE was examined in leukocyte suspensions from 10 healthy individuals. Influenza A virus was found to enhance the histamine release but did not release histamineper se. When monoc...

Three-dimensional structure of an antigenic mutant of the influenza virus haemagglutinin
Antigenic variation in the haemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of influenza virus is associated with recurrent epidemics of respiratory disease in man (for review see ref. 1). We have examined the size of structu...
