image: Example of an 'antibody landscape' constructed for an individual from a study cohort in Vietnam. A visual profile of the individual's immunity to different influenza viruses, the colored dots represent the antigenic locations of different influenza viruses on an antigenic map and the landscape above represents the amount of immunity there is against viruses in each antigenic region (peaks being high immunity, troughs being low). Blue impulses represent the values and locations of raw measurements from which the landscape was constructed. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 21, 2014 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.M. Fonville at University of Cambridge in Cambridge, UK, and colleagues was titled, 'Antibody landscapes after influenza virus infection or vaccination.' view more
