The highly conserved influenza hemagglutinin (HA) stem domain is a major target for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). However, despite being discovered more than a decade ago, the IGHV1-69-encoded CR9114 remains the only HA stem bnAb that cross-reacts with both influenza A and B viruses. To investigate the constraints on the breadth evolution of CR9114, this study performs four deep mutational scanning experiments to compare the binding affinity landscapes of the germline and somatic CR9114 against H1 HA, H3 HA, and influenza B HA. Many mutations that minimally affect or even improve the H1 HA binding are detrimental for binding to H3 HA and BHA. We further reveal the prevalence of epistasis in IGHV1-69 HA stem bnAbs. Overall, our findings provide a mechanistic explanation for the scarcity of HA stem bnAbs with cross-reactivity against both influenza A and B viruses, and have important implications for developing broadly protective influenza vaccines.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
