The two letters in this code name stand for the two proteins, or strings of chemicals called amino acids, that form the virus's coating: Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase. Each vaccine prompts the immune system to produce antibodies against the hemagglutinin and, therefore, against the virus. Virosomes are reconstituted virus membranes, in this case influenza (flu) containing the viral membrane protein, hemagglutinin. |
