Abstract
Antibodies, compositions and methods are provided for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza virus. Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are provided that bind near the HA0 maturation cleavage site consensus sequence of influenza hemagglutinin A. Antibody compositions, combinations and methods for effective passive immunization across influenza A and B strains are also provided.
