Depositor Comments
Codon-optimized influenza A hemagglutinin A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2), including endogenous signal peptide and lacking stop codon, fused C-terminally via a 7xGS linker to mTagBFP2 in the pcDNA3.1 backbone. Plasmid used in the multiplex HA antibody binding assay described in Daniel et al., 2026. A detailed step-by-step protocol will be available in a forthcoming STAR Protocols publication.
