Abstract

The invention relates to antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that are capable of binding to influenza B virus hemagglutinin (HA) and neutralizing influenza B virus in two phylogenetically distinct lineages. In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen binding fragment is capable of binding to influenza B virus hemagglutinin and neutralizing influenza B virus in Yamagata and Victoria lineages.

Claims (18)

1. An isolated antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof that is capable of binding to influenza B virus hemagglutinin (HA) and neutralizing influenza B virus in two phylogenetically distinct lineages wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof includes a set of six CDRs: HCDR-1, HCDR-2, HCDR-3, LCDR-1, LCDR-2, LCDR-3, in which the set of six CDRs is HCDR-1 of SEQ ID NO.: 139, HCDR-2 of SEQ ID NO.: 140, HCDR-3 of SEQ ID NO.: 141, LCDR-1 of SEQ ID NO.: 142, LCDR-2 of SEQ ID NO.: 143 and LCDR-3 of SEQ ID NO.: 144;
