Influenza virus contains two proteins, called hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, exposed on the surface of the virion. Two additional proteins, located on the interior of the virion, are called matrix protein and nucleoprotein

Which of these four proteins will generate a better antibody response and why?

What will be an ideal response?


Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase epitopes, because epitopes exposed on the surface of pathogens stimulate antibodies.
