How do I get hemagglutinin HA protine antigens of actual virus strail in years 2000-2005


help me

Hi Harsh,

This type of item is generally not available for sale. I believe that local and state departments of health usually do testing for different strains of influenza virus, so you might want to call your local health department and ask for a referral.

I'm concerned about your project. Is it really due at the end of January? I don't think you have time to do a project of this scope. Setting up hemagglutination assays, if that what you’re thinking about doing, take lots of expensive reagents and time. Do you need help in doing a project that will take less time?
