Haemagglutination inhibition test
Influenza virus has two important surface glycoproteins-the
haemagglutinin (HA) and the neuraminidase (NA).
Antigenic classification and subtyping of influenza viruses
is based on these two glycoproteins. HA plays a key role in
virus cell entry by binding to cell surface receptors, which are
found also on red blood cells of certain species. Binding to red
cells results in haemagglutination, which can be observed as
a carpet of agglutinated red cells at the bottom of a tube or
microtitre well. In the haemagglutination inhibition test
(HIT), antibody directed against the viral haemagglutinins
block the virus from binding to the blood cells and thus
inhibits the haemagglutination reaction

What is the function of hemagglutinin?
Hemagglutinin (HA) or haemagglutinin (BE) is an antigenic glycoprotein found on the surface of the influenza viruses (as well as many other bacteria and viruses). It is responsible for binding the virus to the cell that is being infected. The name "hemagglutinin" comes from the protein's ability to cause red blood cells (erythrocytes) to clump together ("agglutinate") in vitro [1]. http://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Hemagglutinin
What is titer?
In terms of chemistry, a titer is a specific way to express a solution's concentration. The process of titer testing uses serial dilution to obtain quantitative information that is either negative or positive.
What color tube is used to draw a heb b titer?
A red-top tube is commonly used to draw blood for a HbsAb titer test, also known as Hep B titer.
How do you calculate the titer of a solution?
To calculate the titer of a solution, you can use the formula: Titer (Volume of titrant) x (Molarity of titrant) This formula involves multiplying the volume of the titrant (the solution being added to the sample) by the molarity of the titrant (the concentration of the solution). The titer is a measure of the concentration of the substance being analyzed in the sample.

No, Depakote is not an MAO Inhibitor.
What are the meanings of H - 5 - N - 1 in the H5N1 flu name?
It basically means "type 5 hemagglutinin, type 1 neuraminidase". These are proteins expressed by the virus. There are currently 17 known types of hemagglutinin and 9 known types of neuraminidase.
