Figure 4. Feasibility of different NA immunogen design strategies.
Previous studies on broadly protective HA-based immunogen design have involved the consensus sequence approach [76–78], glycan masking [80, 81], mosaic nanoparticle display [95], epitope removal [54, 55], and generating domain chimera [73]. Our proposed ranking of their feasibility for NA-based immunogen design is indicated via the decreasing black triangle gradient. This ranking is arbitrarily based on the degree of technical challenges that must be overcome.
