At the pH optimum for membrane fusion the hemagglutinin glycoprotein (HA) of the influenza virus membrane which is implicated in the fusion activity undergoes a conformational change. The effects of this change on the antigenicity of the HA were analyzed by reacting the molecule with mouse monoclonal antibodies of defined specificity. The results obtained indicate that specific changes in antigenicity occur in antigenic sites B and D and are interpreted in terms of the 3-dimensional structure of the molecule and the effects of low pH incubation on it. The results also provide evidence for the antigenic significance of amino acid sequence changes in site B of the HA of natural isolates and allow clear delineation of this site into two regions.
