Univ-flu: A structure-based model of influenza A virus hemagglutinin for universal antigenic prediction.

The rapid mutations on hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A virus (IAV) can lead to significant antigenic variance and consequent immune mismatch of vaccine strains. Thus, rapid antigenicity evaluation is highly desired. The subtype-specific antigenicity models have been widely used for common subtypes such as H1 and H3.
