The results of a comparative study of the features of antigenic determinants of avid and non-avid variants of influenza virus hemagglutinin H3 and of the influence of the mode of antigen presentation on the degree of its avidity are presented. The avidity of influenza virus hemagglutinin was shown to be determined by the capacity of individual antigenic determinants to interaction with antibodies. The antigenic determinants of avid hemagglutinin possessing a high functional activity in interaction with antibodies may have the spatial configuration which does not change in different modes of the antigen presentation. Isolation of hemagglutinin from virions of non-avid virus variants may lead to increased functional activity of individual antigenic determinants (and the antigen molecule as a whole) probably due to an increased degree of exposure and/or complementarity of the determinants for active centres of antibody. |
