The present invention provides compositions, vaccines, and methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing influenza infection using a combination of antibodies raised against influenza hemagglutinin and matrix 2 ectodomain polypeptide. . Furthermore, the present invention relates to a diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic composition comprising a human antibody produced against an epitope of influenza hemagglutinin protein and a human monoclonal antibody produced against an epitope of influenza M2 protein. Offer things. Furthermore, these compositions are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutical carrier. These compositions strongly neutralize influenza virus infections and address the longstanding need in the art for pharmaceutical compositions that recognize constant regions within proteins common to all influenza strains. |
