Abstract
Eliciting protective immunity against influenza remains a major challenge. Bajic et al. show how hemagglutinin (HA) hyperglycosylation can restrict the resulting antibody repertoire to an occluded epitope at the HA head interface. These antibodies protect against influenza-virus challenge, providing insights into antigen engineering to alter antibody responses.
