摘要:Monoclonal antibodies have been found to provide useful additional information for the antigenic analysis of influenza A viruses of the H3N2 and H1N1 subtypes. They have been particularly useful in the interpandemic period when multiple variants circulate concurrently.

It is thought likely that variants reacting with the least number of monoclones are the most different antigenically from the fully reactive strains.
