FI6 (antibody)

FI6 is an antibody that targets a protein found on the surface of all influenza A viruses called hemagglutinin.[1][2][3] FI6 is the only known antibody found to be effective against all 16 subtypes of the influenza A virus and is hoped to be useful for a universal influenza vaccine. [1][2][3]
