Structure and function of a cross-neutralizing influenza neuraminidase antibody that accommodates recent N2 NA Asn245 glycosylation.

ABSTRACT: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that recognize and inhibit a diverse range of influenza viruses, although relatively rare, have been isolated following infection or vaccination. Study of their ontology and mechanisms of action informs universal vaccine and therapeutic development. We have previously described a potent and broad neuraminidase (NA)-neutralizing human mAb, 1122A11, that neutralizes a wide range of H3N2 viruses. Here, further characterization of 1122A11 reveals reactivity to cross-group influenza A virus NAs, including group-1 N1 and N8, and group-2 N2 and N3 NAs. Recent H3N2 viruses have acquired Asn245 glycosylation on the active site rim. Crystal structures of an N2 NA from A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 (H3N2) at 2.3 Å (apo) and 2.2 Å (Fab bound) resolution showed that 1122A
